Just received my Gorgomyte cloth from Jason a couple of days ago and wow.... what a difference it made on the frets of the P Bass I just built.

Edit: Just received VIP Status. That was fast! I'll be putting in an order once funds permit...

International shipping varies on quantity. Generally I can get 3-4 sets depending on the manufacturer in a priority mail flat rate envelope. After that quantity the price jumps up considerably for USPS Global Priority which the site calculates automatically.

If you are not in a rush for your order, let me know the string sets you are interested in and I can work out different shipping quotes for various methods faster and slower.

Please let me know if you have any other questions...

Jason,

Are the Ernie Ball Cobalts available yet?

Thanks

Hey Jason. Any idea how long til you get the La Bella 760fLs in?

I was considering the FS but people say the tension across strings is uneven.

I'm loving the tone of the FMs but finding them a bit stiff so want to try a lighter gauge.

SLaPiNFuNK · #**765** 02-27-2012, 03:51 PM

FL's are in route. Should be here in a couple of days...

I have thru-body light sets on hand...

They started shipping some Electric Guitar Cobalts. Bass versions will be shipping soon.

Everyone who placed a pre-order will be shipping on the first shipment and will be updated as soon as they ship. Will ship the same day they are received.

Checked your site and didn't see strap locks. Did I miss them?

The FLs have a great tone, but it isn't the same as the FMs, nor is it the same as the Ms. Personally, I like the FLs best, but that's me.

Thanks TD. How would you describe the differences between FM, FS and FL? (I assume you mean "same as the Ss" in there).

@ Jason - thats cool. cheers.

I've never used the FS. The FLs have a fuller sound than the FMs and Ms. The Ms sound like Jamerson and Duck Dunn, and the FMs thump even more (are more unidimensional) than that. The FLs have that classic LaBella tone, but with a lot more top end potential, which works out nicely, as you can turn up the tone and get growly or turn it down and make like Jamerson. IMHO, IME, YMMV, ETC.

Got my strings this morning! Jason is the man!

Lindsay · #**773** 02-29-2012, 03:09 AM

Just in case it hasn't been well established already - Jason's service is first class

(and his prices are good too).

Richard_P_Harve · #**774** 03-01-2012, 12:08 PM

Just attempted to order 4 sets of Fodera strings 3 different times and each time it went to transfer me to Paypal is failed due to a bad augment, whatever that is.....just FYI

SLaPiNFuNK · #**775** 03-01-2012, 12:32 PM

Click Proceed to Checkout rather than use PayPal express. It must be some kind of cookie problem or something with PayPal and security settings.

I can send you a PayPal request if you prefer to use paypal than Credit Card.

And as always, for fastest response with any issues, please email or call directly.

Richard_P_Harve · #**776** 03-01-2012, 01:41 PM

Jason is the berries, all set :-) Looks like I have a new place to order my strings from now on....!

tekdiver500ft · #**777** 03-01-2012, 02:15 PM

And this is why we all say that Jason is the bee's knees. His customer service is as good as I've ever seen.

knowles · #**778** 03-06-2012, 08:14 PM

Feel like I must have gotten lucky being able to PM with Jason about my first order almost as quickly as chat today!
Ordered three custom sets from singles & saved more than $40 - with shipping to Canada - compared to my local idiots that can't even get an order straight.

Sign up with their VIP, Like them on fb, etc...Let the giant middlemen justify themselves elsewhere.

Very happy, definitely coming back. And back.
