Budget Strings

[ebe9]

Simple goal with this thread.

Who out there manufactures decent more pocket friendly strings?

To better define budget, lets say strings which cost less than US$20 for a 4 string pack of standard guage

0.045
0.065
0.085
0.105

or there abouts.


To start, I would have to say:

Warwick Red Labels

[Tony G]

There are many packs of strings sold in the US that are very good and cost about $20 a set.

Two of my favorites are DR High Beams, and Dean Markley Blue Steels.

Have to give props to Carvin.

4 string set $9.99
040, .060, .080, .100

I use the 6 string sets ($16) and swap them out every couple of months. I'm pretty sure they're made by LaBella. Not my favorite strings in the world, but I can afford them!

Perhaps I should adjust the price, as I was going on what we pay for a pack of strings on this side.

You can get 4 string Stainless Steel Roundwounds from Ashdown for 8 bucks. At those gages.
