I've heard good reports about the fatbeams - going to buy them next.

Cheap in the UK doesnt seem to really apply to most DR strings

I was just looking at this site - they show out of stock on the popular hi-beam sizes, here's an alternative - [url="http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/"]http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/[/url]

I've bought from a couple of US ebay shops with good experiences both times, and half the UK price inc. postage.

Yeah, me too. I buy my DR "coated" strings from either ebay shops in the US, or Thomann are pretty cheap even with shipping.
I reckon a couple of sets from the US inc. shipping is still less than one set in the UK. And is under the customs allowance, so no extra costs.

[philbillbass]

yes i think i wil be going for the ebay option. seems the cheapest way ! might just go for high beams as they dont seem to have the fatbeams.

I bought my Lo-Riders here:

Postage took 14 days, 4 string set - under £15 (inclusive of postage) - I think he undercharged on postage also.

I buy my DR sunbeams from a ebay user/shop called "koeblerenterprises". A shade over £30 for two sets. I'm never buying strings in this country - it's a rip off.

Hi Muppet, although Ive asked the seller, I thought I may get a quicker response here, but do you know what you're charged for shipping? I assume that strings from the US slip in under the tax radar?
Thanks

Hi Guys,

I've been buying mine from Guitar Guitar in Newcastle...... I get a good deal based on their RRP, they match stringbusters which is canny !!!

however given the prices quoted here i'm going to start shopping around a bit more......

I've been getting my strings from Germany. They do great deals on all my favourite brands.

These guys ? [url="http://saitenkatalog.de/home/index.php?osCsid=52557f64e37374066de9fda121756b18"]http://saitenkatalog.de/home/index.php?osC...de9fda121756b18[/url] If my ailing memory serves I used them after reading a recommendation from yourself on BW a few months back. Cheap and quick they were too, got a set of FatBeams from them.
