What is the most you have ever spent on flatwound strings ? I just spent $65 on a set of TI's that are sized for Hofner basses.

For bass guitar I blew about $50 or so on a set of TI's once. I still have the strings and can't bring myself to get rid of them even though they didn't do a damned thing for me. They just cost too much to part with.

And to answer the question, I believe the most I have paid is $60US for TIs. |

| | | | Currently I would have to pay $69 Canadian, plus about $7 for delivery charges for a set of T.I. JF 344s if I got them sent to me to arrive the next day. It's easier and cheaper than driving an hour or more each way to the Big Smoke (Toronto) where I could probably get them for $65 in a store. Our $ is about $.82 US I believe.
The first set I bought over 10 years ago cost me $69 Canadian. That's the most I've ever paid. But I got over 8 years of use from that set, so that worked out to about $9 a year. Pretty cheap if you ask me. |

Too bad they were the worst flats I've tried so far when broken in. When new, they were great.
