Hi Hazen,
I use a 6" pvc pipe with a solid cap on one end and a screw end on the =
other.
My strings are seperated into three groups of strings by mike size .50 =
to 100, .101 to 150 and over 150. the groups of strings are tied =
together with strong cord in three places along the string length of the =
strings.
Each string is tagged with a thick paper punching with the mike size of =
the outer diameter of the string on the loop end.
To find the string that you need all strings are removed from the tube =
about a foot, then the correct group of strings is removed another foot =
and the correct string selected and removed.
The pipe is about 6' long.
I have never counted the number of strings that the pipe holds but it is =
a bunch<G>
Replacing a string to the bunch is a chore so I wait until several =
string sizes need to be replaced.

  Hi,
    I know this topic comes up from time to time,how to carry around a =
whole set + of universal bass strings.I would hope someone has a great =
new way,that I don't know of.Also,if you use a piece of PVC pipe which =
I've read about,how would you be able to extract a single string,and =
know which size it is,without removing all the strings.I am =20
  thinking about something like a small mobile file box,and have each =
size separated,
  but would be worried about protecting the strings from humidity and =
such. =20
  Best,
  Hazen Bannister
