More Balls Than Usual

[Vinny]

I'm in need of some strings for a Hohner B2V. The leading contenders on't 'bay are Rotosounds or Ken Smiths. I've never tried either brand on any bass, so any thoughts on them? And will Osbourne be sticking his hand out if I get them from That America? I don't really want to be spending stupid money on them as I don't know if she's a keeper yet.

Rotosounds are made in Kent. There will be loads of dealers able to send within the UK.

And yet it makes no sense - 40 quid in this country, but 28 after going halfway round the world, its bloody ridiculous! But that's a whole different thread, I suppose.

Try Status Graphite. They do a range of double ball end strings and are much cheaper. Follow the links via the online shop menu on the left.

I bought Stienberger strings from Thomann £10 a set when I got them

Thanks for that, how did I not even know they made strings?

Set duly ordered.

Swing bass are excellent strings, I also love d'addario prosteels, it all depends on the kind of thing you're after

Elites still make double ball end strings as well @ £18 a set last time I got some.
