The Burpster Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Is anyone within 50miles of Lincoln got an unused set of D'addario ECB81 Chromes (45-100) that I can blag until I can get some sent.....? I want to restring my new acquistion before I go away on Weds, and it wont take 50-105s which is what I now use on the PRSs..... At the min I would settle for a set of EXP170 (45-10) if anyone has a set of them uncut..... (Me..! roundwounds...? what is the world coming to!) Thanks in advance if anyone can help....

OutToPlayJazz Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) I'm in South Ferriby, up near the Humber Bridge, but all I have is a set of Rotos in 45-105. Any good to you for a quick fix? Rich. Edited December 6, 2009 by OutToPlayJazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Tinman Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I wish I knew how to establish if any of the strings we have here would be of any use to you. I will try and remember to ask Pete when he surfaces from his slumbers in Las Vegas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now of course, I just have to determine where I have tidied them away to, or establish if himself has removed them all to the practice location in order to prevent them from being subjected to my tidying. For 'tidying' read 'shifting piles of stuff out the way to make room for more stuff!' Back later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Tinman Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 A quick venture into the spare room has not thrown up any D'addarios at present (although I know that Pete has used them before and we have had packets of them lying around). If you can bear with me, I think the simplest thing is just to ask Pete the question when he wakes up, which should be sometime in the next few hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPAC Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 The Music Room in Lincoln had a good choice last time I looked but maybe not the best prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
