Hellzero Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I ordered two sets of Fodera AJT28125 by Lord of the Strings in the Netherlands on the 19th of August 2020. I just tried to fit them today and in the two sets the A strings are completely dead (no harmonic at all, sounding like 10 years old strings) and even worse, the D string in one set has been more than badly wound (see pictures) ! At 82,60 Euros per set, it's a shame that there's absolutely no quality control. I've been using Fodera strings for years and it's the first time this happens ! I'm waiting for their reply and the one from Fodera... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloney Balderdash Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Fodera did nothing wrong! That there is a very special custom set for experiemntal musicians doing prepared bass stuff. They call it the "Ab/D - F [major] ck U p" set. All they did wrong was packaging it as an "Anthony Jackson Signature Strings" set, but I am sure he wouldn't mind.

Hellzero Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 Carl at Lord of the Strings has sent me 3 new Fodera strings immediately. I call this impeccable service ! 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Just checked their website. Even with postage added, they still undercut Strings Direct on Elixir 5-string sets. Methinks I will give them a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo m Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I bought five sets of Fodera Nickel's 45 - 105 & I found them to be of an excellent quality & long lasting with even tone' & bright fundamentals... If I got dud strings from ANY manufacturer & I have had.... They go back... The only company I've had bad service from was D'ddarrio the rep I spoke to was a complete A-hole & very uncooperative.
