NancyJohnson Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I'm getting a little tired of spending a fortune on strings each month...especially considering my D&Gs rarely get played and come off my basses relatively fresh, so I've been giving some thought to just buying E&A singles. Anyone doing this? eBay cheapest? I tend to favour either Slinkys or D'Addario XLs. P Quote
chrismuzz Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 stringbusters do single strings Also,have you tried coated Elixirs? They keep their tone for a really long time so even if you buy a full set for £30 odd you'll end up saving in the long run! Quote
NancyJohnson Posted April 6, 2013 Author Posted April 6, 2013 I've tried EB Cobalts; they did last a bit better.. In all my years, I've never tried Elixirs. Next month! P Quote
D.I. Joe Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 +1 For Elixirs. I bought a bass from DeanoVW which had Elixirs fitted. I thought they were new strings until he said they were actually over a year old! Quote
NancyJohnson Posted April 27, 2013 Author Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) I just put a set of Elixir Nanowebs on my NR. They feel nice. Two rehearsals next week, gig on the 7th. We'll see how they hold up. P Edited April 27, 2013 by NancyJohnson Quote
