Just ordered a few more sets from my favourite strings and things supplier. Jason, many thanks once again for all your helpful advice over the years! Best of luck with your next venture. If you're ever in Oz, you know who to contact!
Ordered some SIT power wounds for $12. Never tried them before but couldn’t pass on that price.
Bummer! Will never forget the time you personally delivered my GS410 an hour+ from the shop!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jason, your customer service was the most excellent of ANY site/product I've ever worked with....you seriously need to teach every retailer on the planet how to do retail right. Blessings to you and your family in your future endeavors.
Just joining the disappointed chorus. Jason, I've never met you in person, but I haven't bought a set of strings from anyone other than you since I found out about BSO. Always great prices and personal service. I am both sorry and shocked that your business model didn't take over the industry. I wish you all the best, you're a good guy and if there's any justice in the world, better days are coming. God bless you and your family.
Jason wish you the best. Loved buying from you. Best prices and always great communication. God be with you always.
Best of luck Jason. I just put in an order for some NYXL. Always wanted to try those. Thanks for running an excellent business!
One note - I just noticed my paypal went to "Lara Hansen" and last time it went to "bassstringsonline" is this correct?
Just placed my final order with BSO. Didn’t really need it since I haven’t been burning through strings like I used to, but just wanted to experience using the site one more time, think happy thoughts and do what I could to repay the years of excellent service by helping liquidate some inventory. What a great resource it was.
Can’t speak for Jason @SLaPiNFuNK but that seems to be correct... my 2, recent, orders went to the same... and they have been shipped, etc.
Lara Hansen is my amazing wife! This is helping keep the books more organized. All transactions are being accounted for.
I have records of every sale from the first one.... Order BASS-1009 in May 2011.
I saw that too and figured it was your wife (I am the guy who ordered the 18-90 SIT 8 string Power steel set. I am curious how they will be on my 8-string fretless).
I know we didn't talk much, but I will echo the sentiments of others and say I am sorry to see you go and wish you only the best of luck.
Although trying to find a retailer to do single DRs in the gauge has been fun...

Hi Jason, i did place a final order once i saw this thread and (i believe) already got the confirmation... thank you once again.
Would have liked to order a few of the EB Cobalt 55-110 round Slinkys, but it said out of stock. (Super glad i ordered them to try last month!)
Aaaaand i know this is a longshot, but if you happen to 'find' any packs that might have slipped off and behind the shelf, please PM me and i'll buy your last few sets.
Can't blame a guy for trying
Best to you, my Bass Brotha
Damn, he is GOOD!!! Messaged me within a minute of posting that ^
Unparalleled customer support!!!
Unparalleled customer support!!!
Never bought mainly due to me being unsure on strings and generally nervous about overseas internet shopping.
Jason treated me well regardless.
I wish you all the best for the future Jason and family.

Man, this blows. I'm sure I wasn't the biggest customer but all my strings in the last few years have come from you. The best service and the best prices. And, the only strings that can make my otherwise unplayable Warwick play were from you.
I bought some a few months ago as the price is ridiculous. Very impressed.
