Killer City Guitars Bass Strings

[Greg Waldon]

About 7 or 8 years ago I ordered some bass strings from a company called Killer City Guitars out of Kansas City. They were a start up company that produced great strings. I can’t seem to find them now. Has anyone ever used these strings? Are they still in business? I would love to get some more of those strings. Got a set that has been on a pawn shop special Squier Affinty that still sound great.

Are you talking about nickel rounds? I'm not familiar with the name. Maybe a start-up company that never made it to the major league?

Yes, they were nickel rounds. You are probably right that the company didn’t make it. I think Rona hit and like a lot of businesses, they didn’t make it. Sure wish they would have. I remember emailing the owner with a question and he replies back promptly and they had great customer service. I keep hoping that I will see those strings back on the market again.

Great service like that not unknown, but rare enough to make one take notice when it happens. Never heard of them, but sorry they seem to be gone.

It's not 100%, but this probably confirms they went out of business, as the last listings were from late 2019:

I’m in Kansas City and have never heard of them. “Killa city” is what the gangbangers call Kansas City lol.

I got my strings in late '18, best I can remember. Those strings still stay in tune and still sound great.

Those strings are still "killer" after about 8 years.

I really like to patronize places that have a great product with great customer service, which can ve a rarity these days.
