Thanks all. Appreciate the info.

 

[Lo-E]

I have occasionally ordered from juststrings.com or Amazon but I typically like to deal with Jason at Fret Nation.

Sometimes I see better prices or selection elsewhere but nobody else is as helpful and responsive, IME. He’s always gone out of his way to get me what I needed.

Rocket music. They do discounts if you buy multiple sets. Usually ship within 24 hours.

 

[MCS4]

I use Amazon if they have what I want with fast/Prime shipping, Juststrings for everything else. Sounds like I might need to check out Fret Nation as well.

 

[Plain Old Barry]

My local music shop here in CT sells the D'Addario XL's I prefer for a $2 more per set than Amazon and Sweetwater.

 

[tindrum]

Amazon mostly but I’ve also used Gimmesomestrings.com many times and they were awesome. Free shipping, even small orders, and I see my strings in a couple of days.

I try to buy local from indie shops whenever possible but it's hard to beat Amazon. I can sometimes get strings the same day I order and if there are any issues returns are a breeze because I can just drop the defective strings off at a local Whole Foods. Amazon will ship me a replacement set no questions asked. I don't even have to deal with emailing the manufacturer.

You can get great prices too sometimes. They had GHS P Flats at $25 a set recently.

My fave is the one below although I’m in Canada.

Lots and lots of inventory, huge variety and prices and delivery are fair.

Fret Nation. Jason will set you up.

I also use Payson strings, he specializes in fanned fret, long scale strings. And has lots of singles so I can build sets.

 

[AccursedBass]

Fretnation.

 

[lowplaces]

Strings by Mail is who I usually go with.

 

[FretFree]

I got a recommendation from Brady Muckelroy to try out Curt Mangan strings. I've been hooked ever since.

For weird/custom string packs Fret Nation rocks. Buy three sets and they are the same price as normal ones.

 

[JohnEdward]

EBay. Got two sets of Fender 850s, recently.

 

[spiritbass]

I've been playing Payson strings for the past few years, so my favorite online source would be his website.

 

[Smooth_bass88]

eBay, justStrings.com, best bass gear, reverb, Sweetwater, musicians friend, guitar center. Whoever has the best prices or specials that day I usually stock up. The best though was when an artist who I was doing a session for had an endorsement from my favorite brand (kinda rhymes with Mario) and got me an entire case of bass strings for free (in addition to my paycheck obviously). I made that shiznit last like 12 months.

 

[paulraphael]

JustStrings, because I've been buying from them forever and they've always taken good care of me. I'm sure many of the others are good too. Occasionally Amazon if I need something fast of if JS is out of stock.

 

[bass12]

I’ve had nothing but good experiences with both Fret Nation and JustStrings.

 

[DragonCurse]

I'm happy buying direct from DR. They win, I can get custom sets so I win, and they're less than buying third party. Truly appreciate that considering how expensive these can get

 

[Auer]

I buy direct from manuf when possible.

That said, my last set of Swingbass 66's came from Amazon.
