Are there any websites where I can order some D'addario strings? I live in Canada and it's hard to find sites that sell/ship here. Thanks! |

In fact I ordered some more Super Long D'Addario Slowounds from them just yesterday!!

I also did a comparison on price of strings - so the same set I ordered yesterday, costs $32.82 on JustStrings.
Whereas it is only $27.99 on sheetmusicplus.com and they only charge $4.99 for international shipping!
Sheetmusic plus wins hands down I think!!

I'm opening a US-based online bass string store within a coupla weeks and I'll be carrying most major brands (including D'Addario, who I've just placed an order with). I will be shipping internationally for a flat fee of $9.95 (US shipping is 3.95). JustStrings has enormous inventory and I just can't compete with that at this time, but those shipping charges..... sheesh.
I will be an authorized dealer of most brands mentioned in these forums; if I don't have it in stock, I can get it.
The site is not live yet, but I'll gladly sell any on-hand inventory to Talk Bass forum members. Until the site goes live, you might even get a nice discount.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: New Brunswick, Canada | | | I've checked out juststrings.com and they have what I'm looking for (D'addario 165-6's), but since they don't take money orders and I don't have a credit card, it doesn't really help much. Sheetmusicplus, stringthis, and moststring.net do not carry this particular product. Thanks! |

Tom | Tom, great to find an alternative to juststrings and the local GC. Are you going to be carrying any of the Lakland and MTD strings? Also, are you going to be able to get the La Bella Super Steps in the gauges that George puts on the F Bass?
