    6-string Bass sets!!

    Hello,

    Are there any 6-string bassplayers on this forum??

    If so:

    Would you also like to have more versatility within the EB strings catalog??

    Things like:

    6-string Flatwound
    6-string Coated
    6-string Stainless (with a .032 high-c instead of the available .028)
    6-string Cobalt

    Because it's all about buisness it is neccasary that we let EB know that we would like
    to have certain product(s): no demand, no product

    I am very interested in all of these string sets, do you also?

    Bongo-6 HS, Black with Moonstone Pickguard
    Bongo-6 HS, Sterling silver with Black Pickguard

    Stingray 3-EQ, maple, Black with Black Pickguard
    Stingray 3-EQ, rosewood, Black with Black Pickguard

    I am very interested in trying out some Cobalt strings on my Bongo 6! Currently experimenting with some slinks on it...going to be trying different gauges and whatnot. I would just like for there to be a couple more different 6 string sets. I know you can just buy singles, but you know...itd be cool. : )

    Well... from all the EB strings i've mentioned are no single high-c's available....

    Only the (far too thin) Stainless .028's

    I just find it somewhat strange that a company that builds 6-string basses has a very
    limited choice of 6-string sets....

    But when i look at my other favoured brand Rotosound: they've got about everything for
    6-string bass!!

    And that's just a small buisness (comparing to EB), very strange....

    I found this out too when I got my Bongo 6 and decided to put flats on it. I ended up with Rotosounds as well. I figured that the market was so small for 6 string fret less players that they just didn't make em. I don't blame em, they make so many great string sets for all my other stuff. I was upset when I found out they no longer make the not even slinky 7 string sets though. But those two niche markets items aside, I love EB strings for their quality and price.

    I use dr hi beams for my 6er. I like the bright fresh stainless sound... Im going to try the slinkys and see if they last longer. I change strings once a month and drs are so expensive. I would really love to get my hands on some cobalt but as mentioned no 6er packs yet...
