They are already on my short scale Cort, helping it sound very big, in place of the year-old unknown strings that were on it when I bought it.

Which Cort? I have the (SS) Action Bass Jr which gives a great "modern" MusicMan like tone with its single humbucker. I can't imagine flats on that - I am thinking of putting flats or progressive wounds on an old 80's (SS) Cort I have that has a "P" pickup

It is the SS Action Bass Jr. I found it on Ebay for $150 w/HSC a couple of weeks ago, and it was in basically perfect shape - the only thing wrong with it was old strings! (so old the intonation was way off...)

Also, DR Sunbeams are not flats or half-rounds. They are a nickel round wound with a round core, but real smooth feeling, like a half-round. To me their tone falls somewhere in between XL's and GHS pressurewounds. They are an experiment.

Regardless, they woke up the little bass, making it sound a lot like my 77 Stingray, except a lot lighter on the shoulder, and more fun to play. I can't put it down right now.

Oops, please excuse the brain-fart, I can't imagine how I read "Sunbeam" and thought "flat wound"

. Those are awesome little basses!

bassstringsonline is my new string shop!

gravesbass · #**186** 01-07-2013, 10:01 PM

Jason's service can't get much better. I will always be a return customer.

Sauron_ · #**187** 01-08-2013, 03:42 AM

Return customer here!!! great service and great shipping charges to Europe!!

hyoshim · #**188** 01-08-2013, 03:29 PM

and bought some 5 string sets (DR and Ken Smith). Jason was a super nice guy and he had an adorable dog too. I really enjoyed the visit and saw some cool gigbags as well (Vertigo was really nice..)

Thanks, Jason!

Just ordered some D'Addario Tapewounds from Jason yesterday. Not even here yet but its always a no brainer. Best price, even with CA tax and shipping and since my string shop is only 5 hours down the road they will be here in no time. My only concern is what the new color of the BSO sticker might be. Shhhh dont tell me.

My order from Jason arrived a couple of days ago. Great guy to deal with. This was my first order with him and it definitely won't be my last.

BrentSimons · #**191** 01-10-2013, 03:43 PM

I had another great experience with BSO. One set of strings was out of stock. 2 days later an email... "your strings have been shipped". Perfect!
Take Care,
Brent

No problem Jason! Im gonna give the next one I get to a fellow bassist friend. That way he will remember where to go so I dont have to tell him anymore.

Josh Pelican · #**194** 01-10-2013, 05:09 PM

I have a list of strings I want to try and Jason carries 90% of them. I wish I could just place one giant order so I can find the right strings for my P-bass.

Right now I have about six or seven sets just waiting to be put on.

Let me know what the other 10% is! I might have it!

Diesel Kilgore · #**196** 01-10-2013, 06:42 PM

I think of all the countless searches and researching ive done at BSO there was only one set of strings I couldnt find. I wouldnt have bought them anyways. Everything I can think of needing is there. Ive gotten more into flats and tapes as of late and all the ones I would try/need are there.

tekdiver500ft · #**197** 01-10-2013, 06:55 PM

One of these days, Jason'll have a sale on TIs so I can afford a set. They're the only string left that I want to try, and he carries all of them. He's always a great guy with whom to do business.

SLaPiNFuNK · #**198** 01-10-2013, 07:20 PM

Who knows what could happen
