Jason wrote me and clarified that Dunlop definitely raised prices. I didn't mean to insinuate that he was ripping anyone off. He's always been a stand-up guy.

Totally off topic, but I love your username ... I heard a saying a long time ago, can't remember where, but it was something like "a bass isn't a low-pitched guitar - it's a drum with strings." Hearing that was one of the things that helped me really get the rhythmic focus of the bass. So I like it when I see your username on here. Sorry - that's probably kind of weird lol.
I still would. Labella's are that much and I like them more than Labella. But once they're on the bass, that's it, I'll never change them.
Yes, flats have a much longer lifespan than rounds (I’ve had mine for almost ten years) - and Dunlop’s are still cheaper than TIs.

Yeah TI's are the only flat where I'm like mmmmmm....no. Too much lol Even though I'd leave them on forever. I just found that between TI's and Dunlop I prefer the Dunlop's.
He's having specials on strings right now. This assault on our rights has got to end.
I am not affiliated with Fretnation, just a satisfied customer.
You still can at Fret Nation. He will beat any legit price you can find that's lower than his.
I can attest to this. I just placed an order from FN tonight and Jason was very accommodating in the midst of this pandemic craze.
A couple of days ago I bought a set of GHS Brite Flats for my Jazz. Fret Nation made it plain that it would be a while until they get the strings shipped, which I have no problem with. Besides, it's not like I have somewhere to go!
When I talked to Jason a couple of days ago about ordering a set of GHS Super Steels, he told me he should be able to get them within a reasonable time frame as long as they already have them in their stock at GHS. One thing they can't do is to produce new strings.
Anyone know why it says @slapinfunk.76905 is inactive? I was going to PM him some string questions.
Yes. He doesn't want us getting in trouble over him. You can contact him at Fret Nation.
I've got 2 orders in the mail
Edit: 1 of those orders, he just sent me. No payment was involved! Obviously, I'll send some money when it arrives.

I wondered the same thing recently. He used to have a strong presence here.
I recall there being some upset over purveyance of strings and such. All would be better for Mr. Funk’s wisdom here. TalkBass is lesser in his abcence.
Thanks for the update, and @CatchaCuda for letting me know the FN communication is still going. Would have preferred to still PM him here than be an anonymous visitor at FN, but I’ll have to do it that way.
Certainly wish he were still around TB.

Folks, please review Rule 5 in the Rules. "Why was he banned" or "Shouldn't have been banned" definitely violates it. No need for anyone to get themselves an infraction.
