eBay guts

[AndyBass]

Anyone got any experience of the cheap gut strings from Nottinghammusicshop on eBay? Whilst I'm sure you get what you pay for, I just want to get a feel for a D and G paired with some Lamberts or Innovations on my bass (played that setup on someone else's and sounded/played really good) and don't have cash to throw around on better quality strings.

So are they worth a go as an entry to guts or are they figuratively, and possibly literally, dogs? Just to reiterate I know they won't be great, but I don't have money for better just now.

Alternatively if anyone has a gut d and g they'd part with for a reasonably modest sum, please let me know!

I've no experience of those particular guts but I've got one of my basses strung with a full set of £40 (in total..) gut strings I got from ebay a few years ago from an indian supplier - no problems at all with them, great classic gut sound / feel and most people who've tried the bass have liked them..

Bearing that in mind I think £100 for an unbranded set is a bit pricey - it might be worth keeping a watch on ebay for others..

Yeah sounds sensible, good to know there are potentially good deals to be had anyway. Will put an ad in the wanted section for some used ones as well. Cheers!
