FOR THOSE IN THE UK

I use Rotosound Stainless Steel Roundwounds and they are £13 a set from Stringbusters online, with £1.50 postage no matter how packs you order.

Can't find better value in the UK than that - but if you do, please let me know!

Elderly instruments recently had a 20% off sale and their regular prices are already good.

I like musiciansfriend.com for the free shipping on orders above $50. (It ticks me off when I have to pay an extra $9 or so to ship some small ticket purchase...)

If you are a fan of Fender strings, Musicpartsplus.com has great prices.

9050's 16.32 + 2.95 USPS (lite and medium gauges)

They also have great prices on the nylon tape wounds (9120's for 15.40) and any other Fender strings you want.

coupon code MPPROCKS will get you an additional 15% off your first order

Musicpartsplus.com doesn't appear to be selling Fender bass strings at the moment, though they still have guitar strings.

Elderly Instruments has Rotosound RS66 4-string packs for around $15 each, if you buy more than one. Free shipping over $100 orders too, I think. Pretty good deal to me, especially if you want to buy bulk.

I've used Just Strings in the past for some piccolo sets.
All I use these days are LaBella 760N Tape Wounds.
$19.00 from the Carvin site. S&H is a bit steep so I bought 3 sets last month. A new set on, 2 on deck. I'm good till 2013.
