Ordered some flats to put on my new 50's Precision  . Just Strings shipped them from New Hampshire on 11/29. They arrived in Los Angeles on 12/7 then went to Orange County on 12/8. Just one problem,, I live in San Francisco. I hope they don't deliver them Disneyland, Goofy already has a set of flats. 
Jim at Just Strings said they would send me a new set if they don't arrive by Monday.

I thought I saw Donald at a 12 step meeting.

I was just wondering why does Fender ship 50's Precisions with roundwounds ?
And what kind of strings does Robbotbass use on his bass?

When the box came in, it was covered in dust and had obviously been sitting in a warehouse somewhere. It was fully and correctly addressed.
No charge for the encouragement....

Been using Just Strings for almost ten years now, and I always think it's freaky how fast they get from NH to CA via the USPS. It's almost always two days after I order them.
The only thing else that arrives that quickly is bills! | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
