john_the_bass Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Can anybody suggest any string brands that offer endorsements? I am not looking for freebie strings, but with the amount of work the band is doing this year I would be happy to kit the band out with strings from one manufacturer if it meant we got a good deal on them. I am playing more guitar than ever and take two guitars to gigs, each with a fresh set of strings for every gig. I don't know how often bass Pete changes his strings, but at 30 gigs per year we could probably get through 70+ sets per year, so I doubt there would be any issues with minimum order quantities.

Pete Academy Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Try Picato. A google search will reveal the number. Speak to Gaynor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Elixer are good for the odd endorsement too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Wondered about this too, but for 7 string sets - most of the obvious choices seem to be limited to 6 strings only :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finbar Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 The 'bigger' names like Rotosound, EB, D'addario etc. Saying that, a couple of them do something which can be just about substituted for a high F, but I don't like the feel of them (I'd rather pay full whack for strings I like than get discounted ones I don't). FWIW, I use Overwater strings at the moment. I think I need to look around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
