In the mean time... There is a Search box, if you enter the terms "Taper Set" or "Exposed Set" it will bring up all of the sets that include a Taper or Exposed string and or strings.

I will add the "Tapered" section to the site, Should be up by this weekend.

In the mean time, if you need any help finding anything let me know I'll be glad to point it out!




@renobassman - They are pretty great cables especially for the $.. and they include life time warranties. I also have accessories available from other manufacturers... Rotosound, GHS, as well as the full line of Rocktron products. (working on adding all these items to the website shortly).


@cjmodulas - Yup! Saw your request come through, you are all set with the VIP pricing. Looking forward to working with you!

Freaking awesome.

Prices look great but I did not see the GHS Bass Boomers Heavy that I use
on one of my P basses... did I miss it?.. I also registered, need stings soon for my basses & guitars as well.

[SLaPiNFuNK]

I can supply guitar strings from any of the brands I carry. Message me with what you need and I will get you some pricing and lead time (I do not stock all the guitar strings at this time).

Which boomers do you use? Everything from their catalog should be listed...

[lenivey]

No question - the website rocks!

I received notice this morning that I still had an item in my shopping cart (I inadvertently left it there whilst chasing down some other stuff yesterday afternoon...).

The VIP discount was applied very shortly after I registered and was available subsequent to my awakening this morning. A couple of clicks...and my order for a treasured DR Red Devil "G" string was complete.

The service is much more thorough and considerate than anything that I've gotten from GC (or any online service, for that matter).

Jason, for what it's worth, you've got my future business - guaranteed.

Thanks again for the assist.

[WackoStu]

Just checked it out, and will by buying my next set here!

[SLaPiNFuNK]

Glad to hear that from both of you!

lenivey - Saw your order come through! Shipping today you will be notified about it later today.


PS: When registering, please include you are a Talk Bass Member to receive the VIP status.

The sections are a great idea, makes your site stand out. In a good way!

I just got one set, so Jason wrapped it up nice in packing paper, enclosed the receipt and used a priority mail envelope. Definitely all it needed.

Just threw em on my bass, and I am diggin the KS compressors so far. I'll have to wait for the zing to die and see how it sits with the band. But so far it sounds great and I'm digging the tension - they're just about perfectly in the middle road which I like. Loose enough to do bends/trems but not too loose for slapping.

Thanks again to Jason for helping me figure out what kind of strings and gauges to go for - I was thinking about the GHS or the KS. He vouched for the KS Compressors Med gauge personally since he uses them which was nice, but stated both sounded like they would fit my needs. Very happy customer over here.

[Flo'Daddy]

I registered online and saved an additional $7 on my two sets of strings...as well as free Priority Mail Shipping! Everyone should check this site out for sure! If he sold upright bass strings, I'd be on that as well

Kim Stone (Rippingtons, Spyro Gyra) gave me a set of taper core strings, Fender custom signature (Kim Stone) strings, and they were pretty awesome. The tapered low B and low E had amazing sustain and nice tight tension. Don't know what the gauges were, but I think the B was a 135!

Thanks again Jason!

[SLaPiNFuNK]

Hey John Thanks and you are welcome!

I sent you an email about your order.

I am working on adding upright strings to the mix. I don't like listing items I do not have on hand, but I have access to many of them. I am hoping to begin stocking them very soon.

In the mean time, if looking for upright strings. Drop me a message of the brand / size / style and I will get some pricing over to you.
