Horizontalste Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 It has occurred to me today that I change my strings pretty much once a month, two basses, two sets of Slinky's. The cost mounts up so I thought I'd ask if anyone is interested in a group buy? Not sure if it's been done before but I think the big retailer's are pretty approachable. We could gang up on them if the order is large enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Definitely some retailers that will look at discounts for group buys - or even just discounts for regular BassChatters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizontalste Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Maybe setting up a discount (or asking for one anyway) with a retailer is the way forward if members don't fancy committing to a group purchase. I don't mind doing the legwork so long as Ped & gang are ok with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_the_bass Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Might even be worth the mods looking at a permanent banner for a company that sells bass equipment in return for a good wholesale price on strings that they can then sell for a small mark up in the bc shop. I.e. the same price as said company but a nice profit to keep the site running smoothly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Maybe buy some strings that last longer, might work out cheaper ? The Ernie Ball Slinky's I tried didn't last long, but strings usually last me for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
