This is starting to get ridiculous. No way in hell is a set of super slinkys worth 40-50 bucks. I love to buy local and support my music shop. I dont like getting screwed.
Is there any online shop in particular I should look at for strings before I do the musicians friend thing?

There are normally a lot of EShops that will sell strings at a lot lower cost than your "friendly local store". I have also had some real bargains where i have bid on a set of strings that someone has bought by mistake - i put a silly bid in and forget about it. 3 days later i have an email saying that i have purchased some Rotosounds for £10! That said, i am going through an "experimental" stage again and like trying all different kinds of strings in search of the MUTHA of all strings. |

I live in Norway 10 0000 miles away, had my strings 4 days after I ordered them. Very nice indeed! http://www.stringsandbeyond.com/

And forget anything 5 string... aint gonna happen,...
Oh they will order something in, but 2 or 3 weeks...... forget it.

I was at GC and wasnt sure of the price but just said something around what I thought... the guy looked them up on the computer and found them for less then what I said!! And right now GC is giving 10% of the difference!!!

|  | TalkBass' resident Bongo + Cowbell player | | Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: Bucaramanga, Colombia, South A | | Juststrings.com is a great store, but unfortunately they only offer express shipping to my country and that makes strings really expensive for me, not only because of S&H but because added import taxes. Last time I bought strings online (haven't done it in a while) I chose this site and was 100% satisfied. |
