Can't say enough good things about Jason - I placed an order on a Friday morning & a little later that same morning wanted to add another set of strings to the order & his response was: "No problem" - and (get this) the whole order shows up the very next Monday!

Absolutely awesome, Jason - you definitely ROCK!!!

Thanks once again for the most excellent customer service!!!

I "almost" did the same thing Deckard but I found out they dont sell EB Super Slinky Singles, at least not on their site, I could use one of those low Bs

We do...

They are not listed at the moment...

What do you need?

Tunaman · #**264** 10-23-2012, 09:22 AM

Son of a fish! No kidding

I could use a .130 to go with my Super Slinky set of 4 in the purple package 45 60 80 100... so I'm thinking the natural move is the .130, not the .125

Sooooo tempting, but i just bought some new strings from Aurora (i mentioned them a while back), I love them, and if you started selling them, id almost definitely go for more!

SLaPiNFuNK · #**272** 10-25-2012, 09:35 PM

They are sealed so they will store for a while ;-)

facepalmmaster · #**273** 10-25-2012, 10:10 PM

If I had the money to spare, i definitely would

We have added a "Technical Resources" section to the site.

Here you will find a guide showing how to measure your instrument for the correct length strings.

Finding the correct string length for your bass.

And here you will find a guide listing the various string lengths and how they vary between manufacturers.

Just got my order in today. Great service. I live in Maine so we're the last to get everything but three days from CA to ME is not bad at all. I used to order from Juststrings because they were based out of NH and stuff came in pretty quickly but I'll support a TB Member any day.

Finally got around to ordering Dragon Skins for all 3 basses........And snagged one of the PW tuners that are on sale.

My name is Mudd · #**277** 11-07-2012, 09:01 AM

How do the Dragon Skins compare to Elixirs (the only coated string I've had long'ish term experience with)?

SLaPiNFuNK · #**278** 11-08-2012, 08:36 PM

Dragon Skin's don't feel like coated strings like elixir. There is more friction where the elixirs feel slicker.

You almost wouldn't even know you were playing coated strings with the Dragon Skins.

Hmm... I have a dead GHS .106 pressurewound. I'm wondering if that happened because it was strung thru-body or has anyone else has a problem with them? Nice thumpy "old flatwound" sound

but completely different from the others in the "set"

. This one is a long scale on a short scale with reverse headstock so I did not have to cut is short (which can kill a string). The rest of the "set" are the normal short scale ones which were also strung thru-body but are fine other than the silk not clearing the nut - I changed those over to top-load and they still sound fine

.

SLaPiNFuNK · #**280** 11-09-2012, 12:44 PM

Is the string twisted at all?

You are putting a lot of stress on the core of the string going thru-body AND having the full windings around the tuning post. Check for a string twist and then shoot me a email and we can see what we can do for you.
