I don't know of any dealers for them anywhere around here. I would love to try the doublewides's. I hear the are very very punchy.

I love the TShirt on their website

I picked up set of the doublewides. I never heard of them before. I found them at Sam Ash for 6 bucks and had to buy them because of the package

I'm putting them on my Electra P/J, I'll report back soon!!!

On the string envelopes, it says "Packaged by Cousin Eddie At the SUn Vista Estates Trailer Park Chugwater, Utah"

My first impression............These a DAMN nice $6.00 strings!! They are a very well made string. Silk wraped at both ends, flawless construction. They have a fine roundwound outer laywer that really feels nice on the fingers! As far as sound......It's hard to tell because I haven't played this bass before But overall, I'm happy and will probably pick up the last ones they have at the store!!!

For as much as I like these people I can't use their strings - they're too short - so I have no first hand knowledge whether their B tapers or not.

The one time I tried to buy some the dealer was out of stock. I'm willing to give them a shot, they may have lost their chance on my G&L since I plan to stick with Fender 7150s. Maybe next time I string up the 'coostic geetar or the Toby fretless.

Absolutely - between the package and the price I'd be sucked in like a moth to a flame, too. Glad you like them.

Their slogan at the bottom of their page should be "Committed to proving Uncle Dad wrong" instead.
