They're pretty good (better than rotos!), i'd gig them if i was short on cash. I had a set on my Squier for a bit and while they were never overly bright to begin with they didn't deteriorate as quickly as some other strings i've used.

Bassassin Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I always justify my pointless & costly annual excursion to Music Live at the NEC by buying a stack of £3 Rosetti bass stings & £1 g*it*r strings. No complaints whatsoever about the quality of either - the bass strings last well & are a damn sight better than Rotosounds. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I've just received the Hartke strings today, 2 sets for £20 delivered. The seller sent me some free sweets too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Just bought 4 lots of x3 packs Hartke strings off this guy and he combined the postage, sending the whole lot for the cost of one sale... [url="http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZjamiesmgearQQssPageNameZSTRKQ3aMEWNXQ3aMESOI"]http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrpp...3aMEWNXQ3aMESOI[/url] So to confirm that is 12 packs of strings (NOT 12 single strings but 6x4 string set and 6x5 string set) for a TOTAL of £47.96 inc P&P. Put another way £4 for a full set of strings INC POSTAGE! No brainer really and he has more for sale ending soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried Hartkes, so basically a toe in the water. I'll maybe try some others and start a cheapo string Wiki... and again, ta for the heads-up Edited April 25, 2009 by skankdelvar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
