I placed an order with Webstrings about two weeks ago. Last week my order arrived and it was wrong. I've tried to contact them several times either through e-mail or calling and have yet been able to speak to anyone about this. At this point I guess I've been screwed out of $20. I will never order from from them again and let me warn everyone now to not do any business with them.

They were fast, and the strings were low cost, even with shipping! My first set arrived in like 3 days, but there was a problem with the E string. I sent out an email asking them what to do, they responded to that e mail in less than 24 hours, sent new strings and sent a follow up e mail within a day of my recieving the strings. And the strings sound great!
I feel for ya bud, and it does seem odd that strings would take 2 weeks to arrive.....

They're not my favorite bass strings in the world, but they're good for buying cheap, decent guitar strings... and their flatwound bass strings are ridiculously cheap and not half bad. I had a great experience with them the last time I ordered.

| | | woah. never heard of these strings before but there so cheap.... whats the catch?   |
08-29-2008, 06:54 PM
| | | | I have used them a bunch. They were happy to ship to a few different locations around the world. Strings are very decent imho and a great price.
I have used the nickel rounds and the ss flats...both fine (I used about 10 packs last year and they were all fine) |

Ok, sorry for the hijack. Back on topic of hating Webstrings.

Artist:TC Electronic RH450 bass system | | Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Fort Madison, IA | | | I like them for the guages they offer...I used Rotosound for over 30 years...Same exact guage from webstrings...Made in USA also.
No silk ends, but I like them better....
More bottom end and smoother top..a little more supple on tension and WAY easier on frets!
They have a little "residue" from the manufacturing process (since you can't acid wash them anymore) I just clean them with a little shot of Zippo lighter fluid on the corner of a cloth after I string them up.
Last a LONGGGGG time compared to Rotos too. |

I got several bad strings from rotosound the last few years.
Never got a bad one from webstrings. never broke one either.

Obviously he's not a troll account, since he's a supporting member... but who knows, maybe a recently fired webstrings employee hacked his account or something. Either way, webstrings is legit, and a good deal, even if they're not my #1 string choice.
