It kinda bugs me that a guy who hasn't participated in this forum in about 6 years pops on to rag out a great asset to the Forum.:rollno:

Jason and I have exchanged a few emails over the last few months after I complained in a post that BSO wasn't as "Canadian-friendly" as I liked due to the extra cost involved in shipping across the border.

Then he reached out to me with a deal I couldn't refuse; enough discount on the order for three sets of strings to cover the shipping cost and then some. My order is going through Canada Customs as I write this.

Thanks, Jason! :thumbsup:

I am always available! Email, Private Message (though I'm not always getting notifications lately), Text, Facebook Messanger, and now I have WhatsApp... Can always reach out and I can physically check if something is in stock for you and make sure they are sent same day if needed.

I see your order for the CB040 single. Chromes take longer than other D'Addario singles. They are made to order (except the High-C and Low-B singles those are standard items). We normally stock them but can not predict all sales. I expect to see your string in my shop any day now. Will turn it around the same day.

Thank you for such a quick response! That's what I figured.

International shipping is always a battle. Appreciate you working with me! I urge users to contact me if the shipping rate the website figures is higher than they would like. I can do all I can to find the best rates.

I was working with a freight forwarding service that I lost thousands of dollars and dozens of packages with. A new one has come to light and I am exploring using that. If it works out I will be able to offer lower rates again.

From the time I ordered 2 sets of strings from Jason it took approx 4 weeks from order to delivery. I know that sounds like a long time but they had to travel to Australia and I consider that a good delivery time, considering I can order stuff here from 400 miles away within my own country, and wait longer than a month loll. Jason was great to deal with and kept me in the loop with great communication. Dont sweat it Jason, ya just keep everyone happy all the time as the old saying goes.

I love Jason’s website..... The selection and prices are excellent! The sale items are a great way to try out some different strings on the cheap. I use a specific set of string for my MTD and Jason has them at a great price shipped fast. An asset to the Talkbass community.

Thank you!!

Yeah always adding to the sales section! Many items you need to be signed in to view as they are just priced too low.

I wish I went through strings faster, I actually look forward to ordering from BSO.

Love the special sale emails, too. Picked up a few sets of DR Pure Blues for cheap.

Where else would I get a six string set of TI flats in mixed lengths for a long scale Dingwall?

So many choices. Like a big candy store!

I usually see my strings in 2-3 days.

Thanks, Jason!

I have ordered a couple of times. The only time I waited was when the item needed up being out of stock. I reached out to Jason through hear and he was quick to respond with an update. Bass Strings On Line is a great source of items, particularly items others rarely have. I'll keep going to BSO and supporting a great guy.

Jason - long time customer here. Also used to run a small internet-based business which my son took over (thank god!). You do a great job - don't let this kind of stuff get you down. There will always be a few outliers who are not happy no matter what. To make a big fuss over 1 set of strings and a $12 bass hanger - sheesh!

I appreciate that thank you. I understand, I want to make everyone happy and do what I can.

Thank you! I know I need to reach out more and I am doing what I can. I focus on replying to those who reach out to me first. From the feedback the op provided I will do better to reach out even if items are not listed as in stock.

BSO is my go-to for ordering electric bass strings online. Not only have I had no problems, Jason has gone the extra mile when I needed it.
