I'm pretty sure Juststrings.com would have anything you'd need, I was able to order a 7 string set (tuned B-F) through them. If not, theres always the Conklin website, but their strings are not cheap at all.

the gauge i need is.....

.165 .135 .110 .080 .055 .035 .025 .018

there must be some brand of strings that deals with extended range guitar/basses.
it was even a pain in the ass tring to find strings for my ibanez rg 2228 eight string.

Was trying to find the link in Sevenstring.org - The Seven String Guitar Authority for this guy, but have you tried talking to "Circle K Strings?" https://circlekstrings.com/store/ Hope this helps out.
