binky_bass Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 @TheGreek - Good spot. Just bought the last 3 sets of the Rotosound SM666. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Rather it was us they're sold to. Three sets of 6 strings for the price of one roughly?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Well spotted. Bought a set of the nefium gauge rotos I use ony Performer at 46% off, and my favourite Fender 7250 nickels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Clicked the TI Jazz flats and thought bleedin' 'ell that's cheap. Nearly bought some in my excitement before I realised it was a single string. 😄 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Those Warwick Red Labels used to be top quality a few years back. I bought a pack recently and they were as rough as a badgers ar$e and turned my fingers green. 😶 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxos10 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Amazon have good prices on the Rotosound RS77LD, LE and SM77 monel flats as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterMute Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Blimey, SM666 cheaper than the SM665 sets... Looks like I'll have some spare 30s kicking around if anyone needs them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I don't get it. What am I missing? I clicked on the Earnie Ball slinkies and they were reduced by 80p. Hardly life changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clicked on the Earnie Ball slinkies and they were reduced by 80p. Hardly life changing. The Rotosound SM666 6 string sets were £17, which is near on half price. Some of the other deals were a bit insignificant when I looked too, but Amazon does have a habit of changing things fairly rapidly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munurmunuh Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I looked at the sellers on Amazon Marketplace to see who was selling Roto Bass sets at a good price. (From GAK and Strings Direct they're now £22 plus delivery) Stargate Guitars in Banbury have the RB35/40/45/50 sets for £16.50 (including free delivery) when ordered on their own website. They have PayPal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got super excited and was about to order like 10 sets... a few for me, the rest i'd flog on ebay... now i'm sad because it was only a single string 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukbassboy Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Damn it, no one ever seems to do deals on the Rotosound 55s for 5 string - just as well they are stainless and last donkey's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 The Rotosound SM666 strings are now back to the full price of £33, glad I bought those 3 sets for £17 each while it lasted! A beer to @TheGreek! 🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 You know what they say... You snooze, you lose. Or The early bird catches the worm. Depends on if you got the deal or not I suppose. Good move @binky_bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_S Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Whilst not the ones linked above, I did buy a couple of sets of Regular Slinky 5s since they had some money off them on Amazon the other day. Unfortunately that's gone from being a few quid saved to a total loss. They're fine as long as I don't touch them or breathe on them, but as soon as they contact even the slightest hint of moisture they let off a really strong sulphurous 'rotten eggs' smell. I've been playing NPS rounds for 23 years and never experienced anything like it. I recently bought a very expensive set of the same strings (you know, the ones that come with a free bass) and they don't smell, so maybe the fart-spray effect dissipates after a while, or maybe these are just a strange anomaly. No real point to this comment.. just felt compelled to share, and it's not worth a thread of its own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
