Can't vouch for how good they are mind... may be worth a go.

I use these on all my basses now, great strings.

I've used these on my spare bass before, Cash Converters sell them for £4. They're pretty good (better than rotos!), i'd gig them if i was short on cash. I had a set on my Squier for a bit and while they were never overly bright to begin with they didn't deteriorate as quickly as some other strings i've used.

I always justify my pointless & costly annual excursion to Music Live at the NEC by buying a stack of £3 Rosetti bass stings & £1 g*it*r strings. No complaints whatsoever about the quality of either - the bass strings last well & are a damn sight better than Rotosounds.

Just bought 4 lots of x3 packs Hartke strings off this guy and he combined the postage, sending the whole lot for the cost of one sale...

[url="http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZjamiesmgearQQssPageNameZSTRKQ3aMEWNXQ3aMESOI"]http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrpp...3aMEWNXQ3aMESOI[/url]

So to confirm that is 12 packs of strings (NOT 12 single strings but 6x4 string set and 6x5 string set) for a TOTAL of £47.96 inc P&P. Put another way £4 for a full set of strings INC POSTAGE!

No brainer really and he has more for sale ending soon. :)

Did you just get the pack of 3 (that takes me back to my youth :D ) or did you buy multiple sets? It works out cheaper in multiples and you could always share the costs with other local bassists (cue 'local' quotes :rolleyes: ).

Just the pack of 3.... and something for the weekend. Never tried Hartkes, so basically a toe in the water. I'll maybe try some others and start a cheapo string Wiki...

and again, ta for the heads-up
