Right now i'm playing a drop tuning so i use .130s for the lowB and E strings.
Kinda curious as to what the .175 feels and sounds like. Hey Dom, how can i go about getting a few of these suspension bridge cables?
 
Well, B5 did try it...



As for availability, that's still unknown... my friendly Warwick Dealer in Germany told me that on his side, he had no clue as to when it would come out...

Well, I did (see the link JanVanHove posted)...

I used it as an F-string (since I detune my 5string 1 step to Bb, Eb, Ab, Db en Gb). It sounds great when using some compression. Without compression it sound more muddy and it doesn't have the same volume as the other strings! But the string sounds great comparred to the other strings (very nice balance).
It is usable, but you should have an very open mind...it's nothing like the rest of the strings!
 
I ordered one today. It'll arrive sometime after the Frankfurt Music Expo. I just can't believe that I payed 30 € for one single string.
 
You can have a look at seth playing the Dark Lord

www.bassplayer.tv and at the NAMM Show there are two Warwick Videos.

If i'd have the money for a Flamin' Thumb.....! :roll: :roll:
