Juststrings brand bulk strings opinions

Sign in to disble this ad
Hello, I was looking to buy bulk strings from juststrings.com so I could customize my gagues (spelling...) and I was curious if any of you have used them (specifically the nickel ones). How do they compare to your usual brands, how long do they last? Obvious they're much cheaper than popular brands (10 dollars for a single low E at a local place...gimme a break).

Thanks

I've used 'em. In fact, my two main basses are strung with 'em right now.

They're a good, solid-quality string. Tone is fine, longevity is decent. And as you say, the price is right.

FYI, I've got a couple spare sets for sale right now - cheap: FS: Just Strings brand roundwound nickel strings - light gauge

Only reason I'm selling 'em is because I've decided to change to a different gauge, and I'd prefer to get some $$ back on these, so I haven't wasted my money. If you want 'em, PM me...

Thanks for the reply. I;m not concerned about having killer tone, but decent tone with decent life, especially for that price, is great for me, I just used some strings with great tone and zero life...not my boat.

And thanks for linking the strings for sale but, I'm not into quite those gauges.
