Nothing special. About $25 for a set of 4 chrome D'Addario's, which are lasting for almost a year. Yep, I can't afford new strings easily...

$60 and a little more for a 4 string set of DR Hi Beams.
I live in Chile, so strings are waaay more expensive over here. I just got a 6 string bass, so believe me, im not buying strings here anymore.

$80 for a 5-string set of TI Jazz-Flats.
I was SO pissed when I ended up not liking them
(or flats in general for that matter!)...

but that's actually kinda normal here in israel;
most 5-string sets cost more than $50.
guess that's why most of us play 4 ; )

About $60 for DR Lo rider Nickels, 5 string.

Good price for Australia though.

I just paid about $75 for a 5-string set of TI Jazz flats yesterday. Not sure if I really like them yet, but I see it as more of a good investment.

Like I said when I bought my super nice Leather strap about 6-years ago. "Now I'll never need to buy another strap again", and thus far I haven't. The TI strings will only get better with age. I've got 'em on my KL now, but maybe they'll live on my DeArmond 4-string instead...

I think the Ritter Black Knights strings I bought were about $75 too.
