spongebob Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Done a search, but can't find anything....hope I'm not breaking any rules here (apologies of so). I always buy my strings online - normally Stringbusters or Stringsdirect. I've always found them the cheapest and most reliable to buy from. How about everybody else? Is there somewhere cheaper?? Flatwounds are now about £30 a shot for D'addario Chromes?? Any ideas? Quote

markstuk Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Chromes for less than £30 posted here [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DAddario-ECB80-Bass-Chromes-Flatwound-4-strings-40-95-/330479546654?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item4cf21db11e"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DAddario-ECB80-Bass-...=item4cf21db11e[/url] [quote name='EssentialTension' post='980807' date='Oct 7 2010, 06:29 PM'][url="http://www.lordofthestrings.com/"]http://www.lordofthestrings.com/[/url] [url="http://www.stringstar.com/"]http://www.stringstar.com/[/url] was doing 10% off for Basschatters - not sure whether that's still going.[/quote] Quote
Hoppo75 Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 +1 for stringbusters. Super quick delivery and excellent prices. Quote
Lozz196 Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 I`ve recently started getting my strings from GAK, as they had both better prices, and cheaper delivery charges. Quote
spongebob Posted October 10, 2010 Author Posted October 10, 2010 Thanks! Got a few more options now. Ordered a set of Chromes from Stringstar on Friday.....before the 2pm cut-off. Didn't get the yesterday, or any e-mail saying they've been sent.....hoping to get them tomorrow! Quote
Gadge Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 I suggest you also check out [url="http://www.soundunlimited.co.uk"]Sound Unlimited[/url] for string prices that are amongst the lowest. As an example, compared to that earlier [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DAddario-ECB80-Bass-Chromes-Flatwound-4-strings-40-95-/330479546654"]eBay link[/url] for D'Addario ECB80 Bass Chromes Flatwound 4 strings 40-95, for £25.00 + £1.70 Standard delivery, Sound Unlimited sell the [url="http://www.soundunlimited.co.uk/product_776_DAddario_ECB80_40-95.html"]same item[/url] for £24.10 + £1.25 delivery and, unlike the eBay sale, if you were to buy 5 sets the delivery cost would only increase to £1.75 total.
