Double-ball end strings

Hi ho,

Just recently purchased a Status S2 headless on BassChat and I need some help locating strings.

It takes double-ball end strings (will take normal strings but want to try out the doubles). Does anyone know of a shop in London that stocks them? I know I can get them online but always nice to be able to go into a shop and pick them up straight away.

Thanks

Best place to try is Status themselves. You can buy via their website or phone Dawn who will help you out with advice. Click on the link for 'on-line shop' and look for strings. They are very good value too.

I use rounds, flats and halfwounds. They are very good strings. Just about to order some more halfwounds for two fretless basses. They are stainless steel rather than nickel. You can buy rounds in bulk packs of 6 sets which makes them even cheaper.

I've used Elites on my Status for donkey's years. They sound good to my ears and last pretty well too...

Maybe try Ken Smith DBE strings, you can get them at www.stringbusters.com or take a look on the Ken Smith web site. I used to use the Status strings but found the Ken Smiths to be a bit better and last a bit longer....however it's 'horses for courses' and it's just what you prefer I guess.....worth trying some different ones but it could take a long time if you don't change your strings that often....
