I really don't care...

Browsing through eBay and I found a couple of sets of strings by the same company, Bryce. After reading the front packaging I got to wondering " I wonder what's the difference". Then I realised that at about £6 a packet (remember you probably get what you pay for) I REALLY DON'T CARE ENOUGH TO OPEN THE AD.

At £6 a packet, has to be worth a punt. Getting what you pay for is relative. The price of strings at the factory gate is tiny compared to the retail price by the time the importer, wholesaler, retailer, Uncle Tom Cobley & All have added their percentages (standard retail markup alone on musical stuff is 100%).

I may be dreaming it but that packet with the sunburst Jazz looks identical to the Fender taperwound 5 string set I bought a while ago. Where there's a big gap above 'Nickelplated steel' it had the Fender logo. 🤔

A few years back some bloke was knocking out 'Silk Road' Chinese bass strings for £10 per 6 string set.  Very good they were, too.  Gutted when he disappeared from Ebay....

I recently picked up a couple of packs of 6 string bass sets for £6 a pop on eBay. 

Really can't fault em. 

Edit.

These are the kiddies. Still available.

Out of curiosity how are you getting on with your 6 stringer these days. ?

Well my guess would be linked to one showing a long scale bass and one showing a short scale... 

Not spending the £12 I would need to to prove that! :D
