tangentmusic · #3 05-03-2011, 03:35 PM

I guess you're not buying too many sets of SH-77's?

I am now seriously reconsidering my idea of moving to Oslo after school.

Yes, and we have these strings in every music shop... Wait! We do not have a music shop in my town, closest shop is 1.5 hour away!

Thats for a 7 string right???? Doc

odin70 · #7 05-03-2011, 05:17 PM

No, it for the Steve Harris signature set. They are really shameless. I cannot imagine that they will sell a single set for that price. Im not buying a string here in Norway anymore. Thank god for internet.

Good god that is high price. Theyre $43 here at internet stores, twice the price of swing66 set. Dunno why such a big price diff between the two. I hope youve found much nicer price then that $143 thru internet store that delivers to your home.

Are you kidding? Those 7 feet tall viking women that could crush you with their bare hands? THEY ARE SO ATTRACTIVE.

I think he was being sarcastic. I'm considering a trip with a suitcase full of bass strings that I can sell on the first day and pay for my entire trip. Heh.

I can't remember the last time I bought something musical from Norway, oh yes a plectrum but even they cost a fortune!

Here in Norway you get stung tax on everything over £20/$45 sent from international sellers!

Thomann Cyberstore, stringsdirect.co.uk, ebay!

RCCollins · #13 05-05-2011, 05:41 AM

Well don't all Norwegians own a chunk of the country's oil trust? Yeah... I think you can afford it.

stoob · #14 05-05-2011, 05:45 AM

Own oil? Have you seen the price of beer here in Norway? £6/$10!!!

Venom of God · #15 05-05-2011, 05:47 AM

$100 a set here in Australia, $50 for 66's.

jasper383 · #16 05-05-2011, 05:49 AM

Think of all the jobs in Norway this is protecting!

sidez81 · #17 05-05-2011, 05:55 AM

It sure aint that bad here in Australia but by god DR neons $80 a deck and our dollar is AHEAD of the US... so Ebay stores you legend of my time $35(shipped) sounds better.
$143, I will send prayers and weep for you at a later time.

Dubista · #18 05-05-2011, 05:55 AM

Mate, I don't know where you're shopping but SH77's are $75 from Flat Wounds: , Fender Stainless Flats, GHS Precision Flats, D'Addario Chromes Flats, Thomastik Jazz Flats, Roto TruBass, Rotosound RS77LD, Rotosound SH77, LaBella Deep Talking Bass

And the RS66's are $40 from the same site. I'm sure they'll ship down to Tassie for very little. It wouldn't hurt to send them an email.

DJS · #19 05-05-2011, 05:57 AM

Wait - but don't you guys get "free" healthcare, "free" education, "free" unemployment, and mandatory 8 weeks of "free" vacation?

Sorry! Couldn't resist. I'm just jealous of the fijords.

stoob · #20 05-05-2011, 06:22 AM

Yep apart from the mandatory 8 weeks holiday! Just like any decent country that values it's inhabitants and doesn't spend it on looking for men with long beards!
