6stringbassist Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 These are top quality bass strings used by Matt Garrison, and all sorts of people like that. The gauges are 125, 105, 85, 65, 45, 30. They came by mistake, I'd ordered stainless steel, I'm not a fan of nickel strings so I've never used these. £30 including postage.

Are these still available? If so, would you be willing to put them on hold till I get paid, on the 29th? Cheers, Eude
6stringbassist Posted December 19, 2008 Author Posted December 19, 2008 Sorry, I ended up using them myself.

How do you rate them? I'm currently using some DR Steel Low Riders, but I'm definitely more of a Nickel guy, I love Sun Beams, although they're maybe a little too soft on a 33" scale, and I've used some SIT ones which where pretty good and a lot cheaper, but I'm really interested in the Fodera strings, a lot of folks seem to like them. Cheers, Eude
6stringbassist Posted December 23, 2008 Author Posted December 23, 2008 Try the Lo rider nickel, they're a bit stiffer than the sunbeams, they have a hexagonal core instead of a round core. You may have to order them, I got mine from Mark at Bassdirect.
