sifi2112 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Hi all, Where’s the best (cheapest lol) place to get a NYXL 4 string set ? And what gauges do they come in please ? If I can’t get these I’ll just go for regular ss (4 string standard tuning). What’s your favourite place to get strings period ? cheers Simon Edited April 12, 2019 by sifi2112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy109 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Occasionally get good price off eBay and all the gauge sizes are on there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microbass Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I generally shop around for whoever has an offer. I've never had to pay more than £30 inc P&P. Worth having a look on Amazon as well; they often do single strings as an 'add on' for a few quid if you're a Prime member. I Scored a couple of E's (I always seem to kill them before the rest of the set) for £7 total when buying other stuff. If someone can sort me out cheaper though, I'm all ears!!

dannybuoy Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 NYXL are nickel btw, just mentioning as you were choosing between NYXL and some other stainless steel sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxyFuze Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 On the slight chance you have a short scale, I have a brand new set of regular scale NYXLs where I had a senior moment and trimmed the G string an inch too short, hence being suitable for a shorter bass.

chris_b Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 NYXL, steel core and nickel plated windings. I've been using them (45 -130) on my 5 string Jazz for about a year now. The first time I've used something other than DR for many years. I'd recommend them for their feel and sound. My next set of strings will be NYXL. Prices and availability are all via Google!!
