Bass Strings Online is Closing

[Wood and Wire]

Makes for tough viewing, but wow!

I had no idea that you're such a young scamp, or of the scale of your business : impressive!

You're young, and entrepreneurial, and you'll learn from this experience (I can think of very few highly successful entrepreneurs, who haven't been through this with their formative business - they've all come back stronger).

Good luck with your future endeavours!

This is bad news. BSO had great selection, prices, and service.

Plus, Jason was a big help here in the string section of Talkbass.

Take care of yourself, Jason, and best wishes in the future.

 

[yobtaf]

wish him all the best. I placed orders for strings from him and was always impressed with the whole purchase. He answered my questions and I am very bummed to see him go. I was proud not giving my money to GC or the like for strings.

 

[Duder]

Dang . Best of luck, Jason! Thank you for always helping us!

I recently heard that Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who don't have at least one start-up bust on their resume aren't taken seriously. @SLaPiNFuNK, I'm sure you'll land on your feet with whatever's next, and in the meantime, all the best during this difficult transition.

Very sad to see such an honest and class act shut down ...... may the road ahead be filled with adventure, happiness and music.

Jason, I'm familiar with the gnawing feeling that I just can't keep doing what I've been doing, whether it's circumstances, inner sense or a combination of those. I'm glad you're following your heart. There's always a demand for people who are genuine, truly interested in others and with integrity coming out of their ears. God bless you and your family! You might post something here when your next thing takes root. Plenty of people will be interested!

 

[Rickter]

So sorry to hear that you're having to do this Jason. Thank you for all your help and great service in the past. Best of luck to you in whatever it is you choose to pursue from here.

 

[Toptube]

Thanks for these good years. The TB special discount was super generous of you. Rock on!

 

[Joshua Pickenpaugh]

I guess it's back to playing flats so that I'll never break a string and have to buy replacements from someone that isn't BSO.

All the best to you, Jason, in your future endeavors. (emoticon riding off into the sunset).

 

[Whippet]

Jason, if you ever get back into bass strings, let me know. After doing shopping at your place, I stopped worrying about strings since you had all the information I ever needed. Since then, your place was the only place I bought strings.

Thank you so much for your service and the favors you've given me. No other person or company would ever quote such great prices and go the extra mile to get me the best rate on shipping to Japan. You are a great guy! Good luck. I am sure your future is going to be better than ever.

 

[basslifter]

Sadness......

 

[gustobassman]

Just FYI - Jason has assured us that all open orders will be fulfilled.

Great. That's what I needed to hear.

I've got an open order since August 3rd, and I just placed another one this morning.. hopefully all is good.

 

[SirMjac28]

What happened?

 

[redwood]

Class act. Great guy. So sorry to hear.
All the best with your future endeavors. I'm sure you'll be successful!

 

[Jared Lash]

What a shame. Really the only place I went for strings for so many reasons - the selection, the helpful knowledge, and especially the service.

Best of luck to you moving forward Jason.

I'll take a look at what you have left in stock and see what I can order.

 

[HolmeBass]

His cart was broken, I could only get one set of strings. I was hoping to stock up.

 

[bobba66]

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

 

[jsr914]

Just ordered a couple of sets. No issue with the cart.

Thanks Jason and good luck moving forward!
