Cato Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Hope everyone can see these and they're not just on offer to me https://www.amazon.co.uk/DR-Beam-Medium-Guitar-Strings/dp/B0009FJ1NS Even with postage they're at least a tenner cheaper than average.

Cairobill Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 V good deal. Single set for about 17 quid inc postage and cheap enough to avoid the customs charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisanthony1211 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Never used them before but just ordered these to give them a go, thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairobill Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I'm a sunbeams player (which unfortunately aren't available for such a low price) but when I've needed steels the Hi-Beams are the best I've ever had on a bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The59Sound Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Great price for a great SS string. Sunbeams are Hi Beams just with a nickel coating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 My favourite string. I just paid double this for a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gs_triumph Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Theres Lo Riders on Amazon for £21 too... (Plus customs deposit? I assume I'll get that back as it's below the customs threshold?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Thanks for the heads up - thats me £90 worse off now :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiophonic Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Excellent. I've been wanting to try Hi-Beams and although 105 is heaver than my usual, I also need to use drop-D on a couple of songs now, so this is a cheap way of killing two birds. I'm guessing it's a pricing error though, so they may not honour it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisanthony1211 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Just had my email saying they've been dispatched so all good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I've been getting my Hi Beams from here for a while and I can assure you, they are genuine. I just ordered a set. As I need them quickly I've paid for premium delivery which doubles the price! But it's still £10 cheaper than Strings Direct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clivem Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Thanks for the heads-up. They were on my "strings to try" list, so I've ordered a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ribbetingfrog Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) was a bit worried about import duty but amazon are very clear, they cover the charges. Edited September 2, 2017 by ribbetingfrog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Import duties are so hit and miss that I really don't worry about it. The amount of stuff I've imported and not been charged will more than make up for if and when I do get a charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiophonic Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Order dispatched. I've pretty much killed yet another Ernie Ball set two in practices plus homework, so this is very timely. Given the lack of gauge choices I'm assuming that someone has a 'bin end'. Looking forward to hearing what a 30 quid set of bass strings sounds like.
