Hagstrom eight string bass - flatwound strings

[EvilLordJuju]

Anyone know how I can get a set of flatwound, shortscale, 8 string bass strings?

No one seems to make them as far as I can tell. Any ideas?

TIA guys

If you can't find any sets specific to 8-string bass, you might be able to pair a set of 4-string bass flats with a set of flatwound guitar strings for the octaves.  The guy I took lessons from used to run flatwound guitar strings with a wound G (big jazzbox Guild) - so I imagine there's gotta be sets like that available somewhere.

One of the octave strings broke on my Ibanez (32" scale), and I replaced it with a similar gauge guitar string until I get around to ordering a set.

When I had my '60s Hagstrom 8-string I used bass strings and guitar strings, all flats. No prob.
