Ebay Score! (Febder strings content!)

[Badmuthaplucka]

I won 7 sets on these Fender Super 8250 5M for $15 total! I believe these are what fender puts on their 5 strings as stock. If so these are my second favorite 5 string set next to La Bella's Hard Rockin' Steel!

Pretty sweet - a while back I won a box of D'addario Half Rounds for $50. You just made me look like a paid too much!

I've been looking everywhere for Febder strings!

Nice score!

Well, since WWII Febder has been forced to diversify itself away from armaments and look for new markets. It's well known that they were the premier maker of control cables for aircraft; The transition to musical instrument strings was not only natural, it was easily done.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. All this time, I thought Febder was just a Chinese knock-off brand.

Not to hijack the thread but does anyone know where I can get a Febder decal?

Call the Febder custom shop and they can hook you up. It's is Krapcapisyhstan but the long distance call is worth it. Ask for Bahabib.

I thought Badmuthaplucka must have been suffering with blocked sinuses when he posted.

Aren't those the strings Entwistle used on his Febderbirds?
