Cheap DB Strings?


Recommended Posts

Buy used on BC Rich, most DB strings that are cheap in real terms are also shit in real terms. Put a post in Items Wanted and someone will come up with some, hell I've got about 15 sets here just no idea where they are at present or I'd have offered myself 👍

@Beedster I just found a great deal on Amazon, I got a set of D’Addario JC610 3/4M medium tension DB strings for £86, they’re normally around £145-150 😁👍🏻 #happydays

Nice one, when they arrive check that a) they're not fake and b) that they're not B-stock or similar, sorry to put a downer on what is most likely a bit of good fortune but I bought a lovely set of tapewounds on Amazon a few years back to find that despite them all being in the correct sleves there were two Es and no A, and that the D was from a different set (and shortscale FFS). It was quite an impressive clusterf*** to be honest. No great stress as I saw the problem before I'd even taken the other strings off and when I pressed return I received a refund pretty much immediately. Nonetheless I'd not buy strings from Amazon again, especially not DB strings, and advise you to check your's pretty thoroughly. Restringing a DB only to find the strings ain't 100% as advertised is a time consuming and frustrating process 👍

Artino strings are cheap, they've got no reputation because nobody plays them.

Some say they are decent, those strings are on my bass.

I asked somebody about them and he said the tension was between light and medium compared to other steel string sets.

Give them a chance, I don't want to be the only one who plays them !
