Has anyone tried "OLYMPIA" strings??

[Stompbox]

Good afternoon - has anyone tried Olympia bass strings?


There is a seller "Black Dog Music" on Ebay who is selling them - I'm interested because of the price - stainles wound flatwound s fro £16.

That's cheap if they are any good, but, of course, that's very expensive if they are rubbish!!!!

Just wondered has anyone had experience of them?

Regards,

You could try these: [url="http://www.webstrings.com/flatwound_bass_strings.html"]http://www.webstrings.com/flatwound_bass_strings.html[/url]

$17 (obviously + shipping). They're decent, fairly high tension compared to rounds, sound good to me on a precision.

They sound pretty good here:

I use them on my Squier jazz, they seem to be OK although the windings are a bit on the long side and sit on the saddle of the E string making the string sound dead.

Thanks for the replies.

In the event I've ordered these:-

A "Name" brand & only a pound more expensive, but £1.99 less for postage - so £1 off.

Hah!
