| I am wondering? Can anyone tell me if there is a company that makes electric guitar strings that are super long? I am unhappy with the few choices I have for the octave strings on an 8 string bass. And standard Guitar strings just are not long enough to stretch up to the tuning pegs.
There now there's a question that may "Stump the Doctor" so to speak?
I always try to play this game here, but so far I ain't out questioned the collective knowledge of this list yet? Of course that could mean my questions are just not all that bright to begin with! OR???? :cool: |

| Allrighty then I found some there But I am curious? What do you do if you own a nice 12 string Bass(Much like that great Hamer Bass Al has for sale!)Where do you buy 12 string sets??? I can find no companies that sell them? Hamer must have their own right? Now a 12 string set musy have some real light gauge strings in there. I'll bet this is where my quest will end. Al If I wanted to buy that Hamer where would I buy a set of strings for it? Through Hamer only?
Guess I didn't stump ya all yet but I got ya ta thinkin!
Randy ;) Whoops too many M's I'll take a mulligan on that one. DA |

I found John Pearse strings that I use for the Bari National. I've also seen stores that will have a section for singles with longer windings. But you are right, not an easy thing to come by. |

| All---right! I'll ask here then Al? Perhaps there are others interested in this odd question and answer thread? What are gauges of the strings? Could I impose upon you to two finger out a list? I am hoping this is where I will find the gauges I am looking for. Would it be in poor tast to ask the price?
Hey Any Bass players reading this?
I know this is cheap tactics "Pimp-en" for Al but that Hamer is a real nice bass! Hamer is a real good quality company. And those headstocks look like nothing else! Only problem is you could put your eye out with it though. Check it out on his site.
I came real close to calling you on that one Al. I got this nutty 8 string Ric thing going or I would-a.

| Still in a bid war on ebay for the tiple? Not me, but someone is in a bidding war! I found a couple of cheaper Tiples or at least small guitars with a 10 string slothead that I can make work? I am bidding on these! They will go for a much more resonable amount than that Martin! That I am sure will reach $500-$600 Maybe more??? even with the broken bridge.
