Hi Jason. Probably a dumb question but, do you ship to New Zealand?

Yes we do!

Shipping rates start at $12 for First Class Mail international!

I've used Ken Smith stainless strings on my Dingwall and they work great...however, I only use the 4-string set, and a B string from Circle K Strings.

D'addario makes strings that will work on Dingwalls as well - super longs.

Ken Smith has a 40" winding length B string available!
Fodera Extra Long 40"
Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Flat Extra Long 40"
DR Extra Long 40"
Rotosound Extra Long 39.75"
R.Cocco 39.5"

Should work on pretty much all the Dingwalls with the longer low-B's...

Further proof that Jason never sleeps is that early this morning somewhere around 2:30AM my time (MDT) I sent him an online order for a strap and some end pins.

Not only did he email me back an acknowledgement before 3:00AM but the order shipped today and I got an acknowledgement before 2:00PM my time. How often does anyone else ever ship an order in less than 12 hours after it was received when it comes in outside normal business hours or at least what constitutes normal hours in the rest of the world.

One of you guys who lives nearby may need to stop by his place with a mirror and check him out to see if he has a reflection. With the hours he keeps I'm thinking that he may just be a vampire. Or a cyborg so check for both fangs and robotic mannerisms. :D

Thanks for the great service Jason! :)

True Dat! :)

That order for the strap and end pins I gave him on 10/10 @ 2:30AM and was shipped that same afternoon arrived yesterday via US Mail around 3:30PM in time for me to install the end pins and the strap on my new PBass and use them on my gig last night. :bassist:

That's about 48 hours from the time he shipped to my door. So how do you beat service like that. Well plain and simple you don't. :smug:

And by the way the strap is perfect Jason. Good call again! :D

I've got 2 sets of GHS Precision strings I bought from Jason months ago that were waiting for my fretless to be done so I could give those strings a try.

The bass is here (NBD will come soon) and I can say that Jason's call was perfect! The GHS Precision flats are just what I needed! Very different from the Chromes I'm used to.

My fretted P still have the Chromes on, I might put the other GHS set on so I can compare both on the same bass.

The only flats I've tried so far are the Chromes and the GHS P. I read a lot about those Jamerson's LaBellas but never tried them. Do they feel and sound more like the GHS's or the Chromes?

Just a quick follow up.
I placed an order on a Friday and by the following work day the strings had arrived. This is by far the best shipping I have ever had from a company without paying for rush shipping. The strings are great and are really surprising me

Bad news, Ive decided that i am moving to these strings permanently and they are not available in my local stores.

Good news, Even if they were available locally, i would still order them from Bassstringsonline.com. You cannot beat the service there...

Customer for life...

Jason's service is top notch.

And with my last order I got the Blue Sticker. Cleaning up a bit of stuff in my music room, to turn it into a bedroom for my daughter and son-in-law to move into... Long story... I found a yellow sticker, so I now have two to display proudly.... How's their weather resistance, thinking of putting one on my car?

Was looking for strings yesterday and this morning. And being a cheap college student (see : broke as a joke), I could not afford $35 strings at the moment.

I remembered reading the first version of this thread and figured I'd look for it. Found this, signed up VIP style. Seeing the same exact strings for half price. Lifetime customer for sure.

Mine was set up the same day.

I just placed my first order a week ago based on all of the good feedback on TB. Great prices generally, even better with the TB discount, quick shipping, quick delivery and great service.

I had a small misunderstanding with them on shipping time because the strings weren't in stock. Totally my fault, but Jason came through and got the strings to me when I needed them anyway. :bassist:

I'll definitely be ordering all of strings from Jason now on.

"Reorder" doesn't work with "Build-a-set"? Can't normally ship to a different address? I just ordered another build-a-set of GHS pressure wounds and in the comments asked if you could send them to the guy building my custom shortscale :).

We pay attention to the order comments so if you made this request we will accommodate you. If you are doing this often or need something ship to an address other than the billing address, shoot me a message and I will allow multiple ship-to address's on your account.

Also depending on the original order for the Re-Order... Some VIP users originally ordered while not a VIP so the Re-Rorder doesn't work. There are separate items for the "Build your own String Set" items for VIP and Non-VIP users.

I don't think I'm seeing any price drop. But I received the VIP email. Hmm.

The discount varies depending on the item. Let me know what items you are looking for and I will help you out.

Not the case in my case - this was my 4th order I think. When I used reorder it can out as $0 without the individual strings listed. No big deal, just thought you'd want to know it didn't work.

EDIT> just tried to reorder the order I placed today and it comes out as a $0 item still.

Please keep what ever item it was in your cart so I can look into it.

Thank you!
