NancyJohnson Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'm getting a little tired of spending a fortune on strings each month...especially considering my D&Gs rarely get played and come off my basses relatively fresh, so I've been giving some thought to just buying E&A singles. Anyone doing this? eBay cheapest? I tend to favour either Slinkys or D'Addario XLs. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 stringbusters do single strings Also,have you tried coated Elixirs? They keep their tone for a really long time so even if you buy a full set for £30 odd you'll end up saving in the long run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 I've tried EB Cobalts; they did last a bit better.. In all my years, I've never tried Elixirs. Next month! P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.I. Joe Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 +1 For Elixirs. I bought a bass from DeanoVW which had Elixirs fitted. I thought they were new strings until he said they were actually over a year old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) I just put a set of Elixir Nanowebs on my NR. They feel nice. Two rehearsals next week, gig on the 7th. We'll see how they hold up. P Edited April 27, 2013 by NancyJohnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
