Ooops! Missed this last post! I got a custom taper core set from BSO for my extra long scale Modulus Graphite Quantum 6. Jason was impeccable in his service (we emailed back and forth 5 or so times) and the set was exactly what I was looking/hoping for.

TBers are crazy if they don't try Bass Strings Online, IMO...

One question - Do you ever do the Dunlop 2 for 1 promotion like one of the other on-line string stores? Thanks!

Dunlop does specific promotions with specific stores. So we will have our own run of promotions eventually... I'll but them about doing one...

Dunlop has recently released Twin Packs of 4 and 5 string Nickel Plated Steel sets. So I do have those available now at a great price (will be listed on the site soon!).

We do match prices so feel free to bring anything to my attention and we can make something happen!

If you haven't ordered from Jason yet, what are waiting for? Huge selection of strings and FAST shipping. I've placed a few orders and none have taken more than 3 days to get across the country! Also he's extremely helpful, answering any and all of my stupid questions! BSO is the only place I plan on buying strings for a long time.

As far as service goes just read through these threads about his customer service. Second to none. Also just either email him or PM him about your membership here in talkbass, He'll hook you up.

I've been searching for reviews and takes on the GHS progressives. Can't seem to find much. Any one here with actual "fingers on" experience? what's your take on them?
work well with my passive jazz 4 with Bart. CBdeeps?

[PhatRon]

thanks robertusf. are they low tension or high? I prefer less tension, like round core as opposed to hex core. where do the progressives sit? I think I like the low tension because they make me play with a softer touch which is helping me break some bad habits.

[cassius987]

GHS Progressives feel good and have a nice sound that is articulate without being too bright the way steels can be... I think they have a bit more output too. I have played a custom 45-60-80-106 set on a friend's bass on multiple occasions.

I would play Progressives before I would ever use steels. They are somewhere in between steels and nickels.

[paradog]

oh my, soooooo many strings to choose from! I don't know how to choose....

[SLaPiNFuNK]

Tell me your instrument, what you have on there now (if you know), let me know what you want different, and I'll tell you what to choose!

[robertusf]

GHS Pressurewounds rule!

[autodidact]

What do you recommend in the way of affordable, low tension flats?

[SLaPiNFuNK]

Lightest gauge ghs precision flats.

[joe vegas]

I'm gonna make the leap right now and order up a set for my Fodera 36" 6-string.
The bassstringsonline site looks great, and it'll be a pleasure to do biz within the TB family.

[RyanJD]

Received my GHS Pressurewounds in less than 48 hours!
Thanks SlaPiNFuNK. Feels good to support the small businesses instead of MF.

Will order from again!

[SLaPiNFuNK]

Awesome! Thats what I like to hear!!

Thanks Joe Vegas & RyanJD!!!

[Peepaleep]

Jason - I can't believe how quickly I received the strings. NOTHING gets to New Mexico that fast. Thank you!
