Sign in to disble this ad
I recently found that I like tuning my bass to BEAD. Sounds awesome in the band I am in. I also have never really liked wasting stuff and buying stuff that I am not going to use. Being Green to most people these days. Anyways. Is there a string company that sells BEAD string sets? Oh yeah. Flat wound? Maybe singles. I guess I can recycle the left over high g from a 5er set.
Any thoughts?

After all, it's the most likely string to break. I'm using a set of Slinky's with a .125 B string, and had to file my nut down to make it work. I'm a HUGE fan of a 4 string BEAD bass.

Buy whatever you need, sell what you're not using here. Price it affordably and someone will buy it. |

anyways...
Rickenboogie...Giving them away sounds like a great idea. You know what...My sister inlaw works at a shelter for homeless kids and they are trying to get together a music room. I could give them to her for the kids. Not only green... but some what, a kind and selfless act.
Thanks.

If you really want green - get some DR "Evergreen" coated strings.

Any thoughts? | Call Gary at GuitarX.com
He hooked me up with a set of TI flats, custom length and gage for my Dingwall AB1 for not much scratch. He will get whatever you want at the best price IMO.
