Why no EB 5 string flat wound sets?

[drgroovenstein]

How come?

Product code #2810, and the gauges are 45-65-80-100-130.

Look at your bad self, product code and guages. Jack could learn a thing or two from you.

Thanks! Anybody on the boards used them?

I use the Group III four string set on a non-EB bass, and love them.

Yes, I use EB flat wounds on my 5-string and like them. I'd like to find a good place to buy them cheap!

Actually you do, just not EB. With apologies to EBMM, here and here. Not easy to find and probably expensive, but I'll bet they last a WHOLE lot longer than the round wounds that you're used to. And if they're anything like their fat stringed brothers, they get better with age.
