Inexpensize Used Strings for 1/2 Bass

I'm looking for some inexpensive strings for a 1/2 size beater ply bass. This will be my backup bass and I don't want to spend a bunch on strings.

I'm ok with mix and match. Got anything that would sound decent for Pizz. playing in the old time string band or bluegrass styles?

Thanks, Mike

Mike,

I recently cleared out storage and found a new set of strings in an envelope from two addresses ago. I'm sure they are not quality, but I have no idea what they may be, and are likely 3/4 length. I was trying different strings back then and found a set I liked and forgot about the others I had purchased. If you want to try them I will mail them off for $20 total.

bssist, that sounds like a good deal. Definitely worth the gamble. Shoot me your address via PM and I'll send you the funds.

I have some 1/2 strings that came from a Azola I had. Both real nice strings, a set of Spirocore Weichs and some Super Sensitive Supreme, nice strings in very good condition. Are you still looking for strings? I'm taking a trip to the US next week, could bring them with and send them from CA. $100 or your best offer for both sets. I don't see having need for them anytime soon. Let me know ASAP, I'm packing over the weekend.

If OTM doesn't want them how much would you charge me for just the Spiros?
