joe_bass Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) Hi guys got some strings for my jazz bass but they aren't tapered so don't fit. I got some slinkys free when I got my jazz bass but they didn't fit either so I trecked over to Brighton to change them for these, they are all they had in stock & the guy said he thought they were tapered. I obviously can't get the money back as I didn't buy them & I'm not going to be back over in Brighton for quite a while so if anyone wants them let me know! I think they are these: 350 Stainless Steel Bass Strings But I will check when I get home. They are £22.95 in GAK. I'd like £13 + p&p if anyone is interested! Cheers Joe Edited February 17, 2009 by joe_bass
joe_bass Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 Dropping it under Ebay prices, that's a saving of 2 whole £s! £13 + p&p (surely not more than a £) Will put on Ebay soon if no one wants them.
joe_bass Posted February 4, 2009 Author Posted February 4, 2009 £10 + p&p for a basschat member. If not will stick on Ebay tomorrow or Friday for £13 + post. Cheers Joe
Marky L Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Joe What guage are they? Would fit a Precision? Ta
joe_bass Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) *EDIT* .45 .65 .85 .105 The guy at the shop said they would fit fine but that the E string would be slightly heavier gauge than standard. Shame he didn't know they aren't actually tapered eh! Edited February 6, 2009 by joe_bass
Marky L Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Sweet. A tad lighter than I am currently using, but I'm up for giving them a bash... but by tapered, I guess you mean at the machine head end?
Marky L Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Hey Joe. (where've I heard that before...) I'll have these strings. I'm trying to PM you but it keeps timing out when I try and send. Can you maybe PM me, I'll keep trying though. Mark
joe_bass Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 Sorry guys got the gauge wrong they are... .45 .65 .85 .105 Have PM'd you Mark.
