Cheap D'addario XL nickels (5 strings 45-130) on Amazon until end December

[basexperience]

Seriously good value if you use this brand / gauge - 2 sets for under £30

Fill your boots! I clean my strings in a meths / denatured alcohol bath so I get several uses out of one set (never had one break yet!) and they come back bright and played-in.

 

Cheers m'deers

The 45-105 two pack is only £23! Bring on payday!

This great offer keeps coming back - availed myself of it a few weeks back.  Don't be put off by the vague delivery times when you place the order - I don't know if they wait until enough orders come in to be able to buy it at the price they need, but in my experience, it starts off being months away and ends up winging your way in a couple of weeks.

I 'think' I've just ordered x2 12 string set for £48.63... if that is for 2 sets (image shows box that states 2 sets), then it is virtually half price!

Thanks @warwickhunt. I got given £37 in vouchers this morning as a thank you from a client so will have another look. I use the EXL170-BT set (45, 60, 80, 107) on the Eb-standard Spectors but am willing to shift gauge a bit for that kind of bargain. 

 

I ordered 2 sets of 12s just before I got my 12 @£22 a set each. They were pictured as a twin pack but arrived as two separate packs. All legit, the players points went on no issue. The packaging was a bit crushed and I think they’ve probably been around a while but the bags were intact.

I’ve just spent invested my £37 voucher and £8 more...

 

£45 for 4 sets. 4 sets of Legacy from Strings Direct is £50. This lot would be £64. 4 sets of HQS Harley Benton strings would be 4 x £8.60 + £10 shipping = £44.40.

Fascinating, I didn't see these other offers, even when I looked into the D'addario store - there doesn't seem to be any single page presenting this stuff.

Last time they did this I saved the codes and entered them when D'addario did a double points offer and ended up with another £35 of free stuff 😄

@basexperience could you give us a quick run through of the process? I've got a lot of isopropyl alcohol here.
