StingRayBoy42 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 My TI Spirocores have started fraying (only had them twenty-odd years!) so it's time for a new set. The cheapest I've found is Thomann at £169, does anyone know anywhere cheaper? They're 4/4 medium gauge. Obviously I've had a google and these were the cheapest I could see, not a bad price tbf but worth asking before I pull the trigger.

Paddy Morris Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I had a pretty good scour of the Internet last year and no one could beat Thomann on Spiros. As an experiment I had a look on the internet whilst in Austria in February, and they were actually slightly more expensive in the country of manufacture than Thomann UK, for some bizarre reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingRayBoy42 Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 I thought as much but always worth asking. Cheers folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I don't think so. I had a pretty good look and found nothing even close. Mine arrived this morning. The set was well below anything I could find, and the low B string was half the price I could find anywhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadegames Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 They are cheaper here. It's where I got mine from. £131 + delivery (can't remember how much I spent on delivery from Spain where they are based) https://www.ludimusic.com/uk/double-bass-string-sets/jogo-cordas-contrabaixo-3-4-thomastik-spirocore-solo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
