Cato Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Following on from the recent Hi Beams deal, Amazon have just alerted me to these. https://www.amazon.co.uk/DR-Strings-FB-45-Fat-Beams-Medium/dp/B009P6D4TO/ref=pd_lutyp_simh_1_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B009P6D4TO&pd_rd_r=44BZCTDH1GA66ZTTTTNX&pd_rd_w=YjPdg&pd_rd_wg=sBcuu&psc=1&refRID=44BZCTDH1GA66ZTTTTNX £17ish delivered Buyer beware, I can't guarantee that they are genuine, although the hi beams were. I'm going to give them a punt. Quote
clivem Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Cheers! Also, they've got [url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000EEJH9C]Black Beauties[/url] priced at £14.95 plus £3.23 delivery. Another string on my "want to try" list. Quote
clivem Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 "Manufacturer warranty will not apply" ..... Just noticed that has been added to the product description of the various DR strings that are being sold "cheap" on Amazon. Hmmmm..... Factory seconds???????? Quote
clivem Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 [url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0002FO8E2]DR Strings Sunbeam - Nickel Plated Round Core Bass 45-105[/url] @ £18.52 + £3.39 UK Delivery Again, "Manufacturer warranty will not apply", so caveat emptor. Quote
mcnach Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Hmmm... Fat Beams are my preferred string so this is very attractive at half price. However, given how long I keep each set, I'm a little reluctant to have a go and find they are substandard. I think I'll stick to trusted sources. Quote
The59Sound Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 The Hi Beams I received were the real deal. I would have no worries. Quote

Hi-Beams are once again reduced on Amazon - I picked a set up for just under £20 if anyone is interested. No problems with QC either. Quote
