This is still the one to beat for me... the genre and taste defying mixture of Emo, Screamo, Black Metal, Nu-Metal, Djent and Europop. With generous lashings of autotune.
Let's add JHS to the 'great customer service' list... just got this email from them:
JHS is the UK/EU distributor for Dean Markley strings.
We are sorry to hear that you have received a set of bass strings with a defective E string.
If you can confirm to us the product code of the string set you purchased from amazon, then we can provide you a brand new set free of charge.
Also let us have your address so we can post the set out to you asap.
Thank you for contacting us!
Cheers all. I'll email them, see what happens.
I actually bought the strings from Amazon but by the time I'd put them on the bass my 4 week returns window was passed.
Does anybody have a email or telephone number for John Hornby Skewes? I bought a set of Dean Markley Blue Steels that has a duff E string.
I emailed Dean Markley who apologised and suggested I contact JHS, but couldn't give me an email address. The JHS website isn't much help - I've messaged them via Facebook as suggested but no reply.
It's a bit far for me sadly, but having looked on Google maps the first thing that pops up with your postcode is an establishment called LOVE LIFE, EAT CAKE. I'm sure they'd be happy to cater any meetings!
