BigRedX Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Unfortunately Strings Direct don't stock any of my currently preferred sets of strings - LaBella Steels 40 - 128, LaBella Steels 45 - 135, Warwick Black Label 40 - 130 with a taper-wound low B.

morgano Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 If you don't need the strings really urgently try bassstringsonline (in the States). Have used them before, and they have good range of strings. I'm not sure how the prices compare now with the weak pound, but they were competitive a while back, even with shipping.

[/quote] Unless the shipping is massively expensive (I can't see any shipping prices without placing an order) for what I'm after it works out about the same with VAT as my last order direct from the UK LaBella distributor.

Gunsfreddy2003 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Wish I had seen this before placing an order 2 weeks ago! I used to use them all the time and they were fantastic but this time, took the money, no strings, no answering phones, no reply to e-mails and no response to comments on social media! Have insitgated a refund through my credit card company which should be back in my account next week. Ordered through Strings Direct and they arrived the next day. Lesson learnt - read Basschat before ordering anything online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 It's such a shame. They were always my first choice but I wouldn't go near them anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
