5-string (High C)
Strings for 5-string doublebass with High C (E-A-D-G-C) tuning
This category contains string sets that offer a 5-string set tuned with a High C rather than the common Low-B 5th string (B-E-A-D-G). All of these sets offer a high C string, so you can, in most cases buy it with one cart addition, as we've bundled the high C with a four string set for you. You can also purchase the strings individually as needed to create your own custom set/blend.
