To be fair in defense of Bass Strings Online, I have had nothing but positive experiences ordering from them on several occasions, and until they do something to raise my ire, I will continue to order from them.

I've also had very good service and prices from BSO. Jason has also given me excellent advice on sets I'd never tried and was interested in.

Their customer service sucks to the highest order of suckage. I flat out refuse to do business them.

I will never forget the time I was talking to you in a parking lot doing a DR promotion where it was a 2-Pack and you were asking if I could do two different sets and as I was saying... "Well, I normally can not do that......" then before I could finish you said something nasty and hung up... I tried calling you back as I would have been more than happy to do it for you, I was just trying to let you know not to make it known to all that I was making a special exception for you. Thank you so much! Since that call when I talk to someone about making special exceptions or deals, I make it a little bit more clear what I am getting at...

Reputable businesses don't need problem customers like that.

Jason is the best! Hoping he'll get more of these strings in, in light gauge...;)

I have two pending orders for light gauge and they are waiting on other items... None are going to Oklahoma. I think I found your email address as well. I have them on hand for you.

Yeah, that’s great...but they have only offered one winding length that is too short to fit on my string-through-body basses. I wish they offered the extra long length like they do with P-Flats. In the meantime I’ll stick with Sunbeams...maybe GHS will stop making all their sets just for Fender...not everyone plays a Fender.

They fit my bass just fine when strung through body... They clear the nut by about a cm before the silk starts.

Anybody review the 5 strings set or played them?

I've been using them about 2 weeks or so. Very happy with them. Even sound and feel across all strings including the low B. Take a few days to break in and not feel so stiff but not bad initially. Just so much better after playing awhile. They are great for slapping if you're into that. Have some bite initially but not bright and zingy like a lot of new strings. Sound great right away.

Wiil know more as they age but so far I'd say I found my new roundwound strings.

Thanks is man. I’ve been using DR on my Warwick Corvette, but Ive been geting hellacious overtones, especially the B string. I’ll have to check them out. Thanks again.

You're welcome. Are your pickups too close to the strings? I've had that problem before and that certainly helped. What kind of DR's you using?

Hey, guess what... I'M BACK!
Band rehearsal tomorrow night - my first one since the surgery almost three weeks ago. Time to put my BNs to the test.

Just saw a TV commercial for wine that gave me the words to describe the Balanced Nickels...

Bold, smooth, velvety and silky - BODACIOUS.
