Super Cheap strings

[Frank Tuesday]

Didn't see this posted anywhere else here, but Sam Ash has Guitar Research Light gauge strings for $2, and if you buy in multiples of three, the price goes down significantly. I just bought 9 sets for under $6, shipped to my door.

Report back in a few days and let us know what you think. I'm curious. Hope they work out for you. I don't have high hopes, but I hope I'm wrong.

there was a lengthy thread about this a few days back, response was typically they aren't bad for the money.

wow... so i was in the market for some cheap strings and i just ended up buying me 6 sets for $4 shipped.. i would have bought more but they didnt have enough for another set of 3? or the site just stopped me from doing it.

They're out of stock. I guess that was to be expected.

I bought 100 sets last time they were on sale @ .66 per set....after the multi-discount. They actually are not bad strings at all. I prefer them over a host of name brands.....

. . . but they're lights . . . do you folks really play lights? I've tried practically giving away D'Addario lights in the past and nobody wanted them. All I was charing was the shipping. And you guys are eating up lights by the pound? I just don't get it. Price means everything huh? What's the brand name on these?

[Tim Cole]

I like lights, personally

I'm in the process of swapping over to lights. I've been told it is better for your hand's health, so I'm giving it a shot.

I'm with TimCole. I bought 60 sets at 66 cents each 40-100 GuitarResearch brand. no silk but who cares, no bad strings out of the 9 sets I already used to restring a few of my basses, and yes there was a good thread on this a couple weeks ago.

I watched that thread and all the people laughing at the "cheapness", and all the posts saying "I would NEVER put garbage strings on MY bass"...blah,blah,blah...

not good for them I guess if they "need" 50.00 a set strings.

i have a couple 35" basses and lights feel fine one them. I also do not like spending $30 on strings for my basses that I only play at home for practice. 6 sets for $4 shipped is pretty sweet to me. On my main basses Modulus/ESP/Spector I use D'addario. I stayed away from using those strings because they were "cheap". I used to buy DRs and Rotos.. tried the D'addarios and they sounded great so I have no need to buy the others. Learned my lesson..

I just called Sam Ash and asked about these strings....They're made in China, their gauged at .45 .65 .85 .100 and right now you can get a set for $2.00 and it's free shipping. I'm going to try at least one set. Waddaya got to lose...? What, 2 bucks... ? If you like them and they last for even three months, you're still way ahead of the game. I'll post back how I like them. )-(
