Sadowsky Blue Label Stainless .045 - .130

[Old Fart]

I'm pretty frustrated. My Sadowsky Metroline 5 came with these strings. These strings have a very good reputation and for good reason. I want to buy some. Here is my frustration:

From Amazon, they are coming from Japan (but I believe they are made by Warwick in Germany. Huh?). Delivery times are LONG.
Bass Strings Only is SOLD OUT of every single type of Sadowsky bass strings.
Strings And Beyond does not seem to carry Sadowsky strings
Bass Strings Online website is suddenly not working but I also think they don't have Sadowsky strings
Some people are selling "Sadowsky Blue Line" sets with a .125" B string. NOT THE SAME as .130
I did find a set. Only $127.90. Huh?!!! :

You can always email Jason (owner) directly at [email protected]. I've dealt with him for the last 12 yrs and he always delivers.

Thank you.

As the joke goes:

You want it fast?
You want it high quality?
You want it inexpensive?
Pick any two.

But this is not always true. I emailed Jason with a question, he got right back to me with the answer and some additional helpful information. I bought three sets of these basically $50 strings, free shipping, 20% off, total $107.76. That's $35.92 per set. Jason is just too good to NOT do business with.
