Have ordered some Super Steps from Thomanns which is by far the best price even if you add the £10.00 post so I went for 2 sets.
I prefer a lighter set of 5 and the price shades DR..which I haven't liked of late... see above

I also had a quick scout round on e-bay and the like, for decent prices but nothing struck me as worth the import issues..potentially.

For a cheaper price and local availaibilty I think Ken Smith are worth a look..and D'addario XL Pros as well. The consistant thing being I can get a tapered B on all those.

But if anyone wants contributors to a bulk order..I'll be up for that.

I used to string my Spector with DR's and my P-Bass with Roto's. Then i tried D'Addario Pro Steel XL's and thats all i use now. They are excellent strings.

[quote name='silddx' post='1273983' date='Jun 18 2011, 06:21 PM']Interesting this. I had a dead G about six weeks ago. Emailed them and they haven't got back yet.[/quote]

I had a dead G in a pack of DR Black Beauties a couple of sets back that I got from String Busters.
I emailed them at 3pm. I got a phone call from them at 3:30pm. I had a new G string (oo err) in the next mornings post.
I don't mind paying a bit extra and not importing them because of that sort of service.

[quote name='charic' post='1275653' date='Jun 20 2011, 10:44 AM']I've used D'addario prosteels and roto swingbasses.

But literally just ordered some newtone string with a custom core for drop c tuning. Should be interesting :)[/quote]


When I looked at their website...couldn't find a taper core. might have to give them a call.

Just got a nice e-mail back from Newtone...says I might want to try the Diamond series and he will make them tapered core..
So I will give these a try.

I like what little I know about the company and the price is reasonable...

I have some Super Steps coming in so they can go head to head with those.
