I picked up the strings at the Baldwin, NY store, I wanted to try them 1st. Only one bass in their shop wore their strings, which may or may not should have told me something. Regardless of ethics, I could have gotten them cheaper at Gollihur's. I really hated the Kolstein strings, got used to...

I like the peak stand as well. It is sturdy enough to trust to hold my tablet, but if someone decides to hand me a chart, I have a place to put it, where that is not the case with a tablet holder.
