Jono Bolton Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Cheers ped! Never used Elixirs before but won't turn my nose up at a freebie! Quote
chrismuzz Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Thanks for sharing! I'm a huge Elixir fan and a set usually lasts me a year Quote
AndyTravis Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Did this earlier, while I'm mainly a flatwound user, my Jazz would love some new strings. Quote
Bajista Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Excellent, I use Elixirs, so definitely wouldn't mind some more. Thanks for spreading the news! Quote
Guest BeardyBob Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Cheers mate! That nanoweb shtuff ain't too shabby... Quote
ped Posted November 28, 2014 Author Posted November 28, 2014 Yeah I've been using Elixirs for about 5 years now and they always last incredibly long for me. Also love the feel of them. Good luck everyone ped Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Forgot all about this..well done you, at least 1 basschatter got lucky Quote
Freddy Le Cragg Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I forgot too until I got the email. I had to do a forum search on 3 different forums to work out where it came from... Quote
ped Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 Hi guys Yes the winners have been informed - I have the final list but only have real, not user, names. Look out for more competitions coming soon - let me know if you have any you'd like to see! Cheers ped Quote
chrismuzz Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 [quote name='Freddy Le Cragg' timestamp='1420823035' post='2653959'] I won a set! WOO HOO [/quote] Congrats dude! I recently bought a set for just £30 so I feel like a winner too Quote
ped Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 I'll probably sound like I'm being paid to say this but Elixir strings are amazing, I've had my set on for a year now and they sound fantastic. Well worth a try if you havent already!! Quote
Freddy Le Cragg Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I had a set of acoustic strings on my old guitar. They were lovely to play really made the pluggged in sound sparkle Quote
ambient Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I won too, but I should imagine it's a 4 string set that I've won ? I don't own a 4 string bass, and use flats anyway, so look for mine in the 'other items for sale' section when they arrive. But it's nice to win something. Quote

ambient Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Oh, thanks I think the last time I won anything was at school in a fancy dress halloween competition. I've donated them to a friend at uni Edited January 10, 2015 by ambient Quote
chrismuzz Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Oh sh*t, I did win! Just found the email in my junk folder. Get in!! Quote
gary mac Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Extremely pleased to say that I have just taken delivery of my prize, five sets. [size=4] [/size] The last time I won anything was in a raffle, it was a handbag and mrs mac made me go up and collect it [size=4] [/size] [size=4]This has cheered me up no end. [/size] Quote
eude Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I won too! I don't win anything either, quite chuffed! Not sure what I'm being sent, perhaps there'll be something waiting for me when I get home, I hope it's at least a 5 string set otherwise I'll need to buy a low B to get started Looking forward to trying these out though, have heard very good things.

KingBollock Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Woo! I got me a 5 string set of Nanowebs in the post today. I didn't see any email because Hotmail is being a dickhead and won't let me in to my account when on my PC, only my ipad, and I can't see any extra folders, only the main inbox on that. So after a minor panic where I tried desperately to remember what the hell I had bought while in some sort of apparent comatose state, I was very surprised and incredibly happy to open a new set of strings. They're certainly not a string I would have tried at random, being so expensive, but if they are good and last as long as they claim, then the survey will have successfully hooked them another customer.

Delberthot Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I won a set too but since I entered the competition I bought myself a 5 string so I'll need to get myself a single B Can't remember the last time I won anything. Fantastic. really happy with that Quote
Mr Bassman Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I also won a set, which was a complete surprise when postman Pat rang the doorbell. Not sure which bass to try them on first, maybe my fretless p bass? Quote
