World's cheapest bass strings

[Session1969]

I'm missing something because the price reads $16.99 a set.

I see they also offer D'Addario's.

By the way what is a "Soft Gauge" string? LOL.

D'Addaroo, Fender...same thing, different ball end.

$8 for a set of bass strings is about what you'd pay for a budget brand set of acoustic guitar strings. I'd say it's worth a shot but don't get your hopes up. Quality is usually worth the price you pay for it. They're cheap for a reason.

Amen ... I'll pass.

Kinda looks like somebody messed up and they found the error.

Probably too late now, but the D'Addario strings on there are obviously fake. They have the wrong logo, as is pointed out on D'Addario's 'how to spot fakes' site.

Gents - just to share the info - we have a very substantial issue of counterfeit strings coming out of the far east. In fact, in China, we're seeing 8 out of 10 sets being sold there as fakes. We created this website - www.daddario.com/playreal - to help players identify if the sets that they're buying are REAL D'Addario product. You enter the code off of the internal baggie and that will help identify the set. We're not the only brand experiencing this but thanks for posting that set. If I can answer any questions - feel free to email me - [email protected]

Nice to know you guys have our backs on this! Last thing on Earth I'd want to do is end up with a counterfeit set of Chromes lol
