yituool Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Ok, I'm kinda skint at the moment, so I am considering of getting some budget strings for my 5 string bass: [url="http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/598-legacy_nickel_bass_45_130_5_string"]http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/59...45_130_5_string[/url] Has anyone on here ever used strings that are far cheaper than your standard rotosound etc? If so how do they compare to sets that sometimes cost 3 times more? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Not used those ones but i have played the Cheetah/Johnny Brook branded ones that Crack Converters sell, they were £4 when i got em but they're £6 now i think Was really impressed, a bit rough but they sounded better than the Hartke strings i took off that bass. I use these on my backup bass and they do their job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
