So I have strings for the next 6 years lol

I actually got a year and a half on 2 different basses on a set of Fender 9050’s so I ordered a set from Amazon, instead of a set they sent me a box. I called them and they told me
to keep them! At the rate I’m changing these I’ll be 47 when I run out!

If my calculations are correct, you have more than 6 years in that box, don't you?

 

[bearfoot]

Not if you get more basses....

Yes on a 1.5 year change it would be 9 years, but my current set got a little darker than I like about 6 months back. I just haven’t had the heart to get rid of them.

Got it.

Maybe I should try ordering my next set from Amazon and see if I can get a deal like yours.

In all honesty I’ll probably give a couple of these away or trade them for other sets, as I use these mainly for my P bass, I put rounds back on my jazz (though I really liked these strings on it just put rounds back on it for variety) and my sabre has pressurewounds. For most normal flat wound guys this box of strings would last them more like 60+ years

Wow. Should really buy more strings on Amazon. ;-)

That half dozen sets should be at least 60 years worth, if not 120.
