Question Where can I buy GHS Brite Flats in the UK?

Sign in to disble this ad
I've only got the one bass which is a fretless and I want the more versatile tone of a brighter string. Something that can growl when I want it to, but be more mellow if I switch to the neck pickup and rolloff the tone.

GHS Brite Flats seem to have a lot of fans around here, but I can't find any in the UK (Denmark Street or Google at least). Anyone bought them here or know of a US company that can ship them here?

Amazon.com sell them but not Amazon.co.uk, and I tried another store that is restricted to only allow shipping of certain brands internationally.

I've currently got some Elite groundwounds which are good, but the G string is so twangy I don't like to use it, and the A string is a lot rougher than the rest for some reason (the D and E are silky smooth). D'Addario Chromes seem to be the next choice if I can't get hold of these GHS strings!

I notice that http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/ offers GHS Boomers; since they carry the line, they might be able to special order the BriteFlats for you.

You're right though; hard to find GHS outside of the U.S.

Yep, they're ordering some in for me, 4/5 days @ £23.95 if anyone out there wants a set.
