Cheaper low tension strings?

Sign in to disble this ad
I've done a bunch of searches under low tension strings and DR HiBeam/Sunbeam and the TI strings are mentioned. I've tried those and love them, but are there any lower priced low tension and/or round core strings out there?

My string of choice right now is the DR HiBeam/Sunbeam, so I like a bright, long lasting string. I like the strings floppy because I have a really light touch and don't need the higher tension. But I prefer to feel the "meat" of a 45-125 gauge and don't want to go lighter gauge to get the low tension I want.

I also am a DR Highbeams user, and I haven't found any that are real cheap either.
www.bassguitarstrings.us is where I've been getting mine because the guy that runs the place has treated me real good. There are one or two I've found that have been a little cheaper, but not enough cheaper to pull me away from this guys place. I also would like to buy them cheaper, but DR's are so great I hate to buy others, just to keep the business going DR's way, and keep some of the cash here in the US. I like the fact that they are at least one the last things still made here.

When I first started, I bought strings from Target...a .95, super thin, and very light in tension. They're a dime a dozen too, hahhaha.
