Restringing LTD-B55
Im a fairly avid musician that has somewhat recently purchased a brand new LTD-B55 bass (if you are unfamilliar with the product - its a five string) from a local music store. Well, i've been prolonging it for quite some time, but its inevitable. I need new strings.
I need a cheap-reliable online source (the local music stores only carry 1 brand of very overpriced, bad quality strings for a 5-string) to get strings, im looking for a set of 5-string GHS Bass Boomers.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

I've got a Sam Ash locally, so I generally go there or to another very local store that isn't worth mentioning (since the odds of you living here are slim to none). www.samash.com - their on-line store, would have 5-string bass string sets as well.
I was not happy with GHS boomers on my 5-string. I use pretty much D'Addario strings across the board. I despise Ernie Ball strings (they tended to break far more often than any other strings I've used).
Darco strings were fucking AMAZING for bass, but I don't think they make them anymore, which was a very sad day when I heard that news.
By nature, bass strings are pricey because our strings are double and triple wound - that takes lots of metal and lots of precision in the manufacturing process. Add a 5th, very fat string, and that's even more metal, so 5-string sets are inherently painful to buy.
Can I assume you've tried the old trick of boiling your old strings in water with baking soda? That can at least prolong the life of your old strings by a bit if the time/money factor is playing heavily into your string buying ability.
