Vinny Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'm in need of some strings for a Hohner B2V. The leading contenders on't 'bay are Rotosounds or Ken Smiths. I've never tried either brand on any bass, so any thoughts on them? And will Osbourne be sticking his hand out if I get them from That America? I don't really want to be spending stupid money on them as I don't know if she's a keeper yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Rotosounds are made in Kent. There will be loads of dealers able to send within the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 And yet it makes no sense - 40 quid in this country, but 28 after going halfway round the world, its bloody ridiculous! But that's a whole different thread, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Try Status Graphite. They do a range of double ball end strings and are much cheaper. Follow the links via the online shop menu on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman68 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Elites still make double ball end strings as well @ £18 a set last time I got some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
