Sarah5string Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Was after some 5 string bass strings and seemingly in my local shops they haven't even heard of 5 strings.. so I ordered online. Checked string busters etc first but found that absolute-guitars.co.uk was cheaper for the strings I wanted inc delivery (ernie ball power slinky 5). Ordered them 3pm yesterday, and lo and behold they turn up recorded delivery this morning! Was really impressed Never used them before but will definitely be adding them to my favourites.

Ray Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I usually get my bits 'n' bobs from Strings Direct. Fantastic service. Never tried Absolute. I might give them a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huw Foster Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Also very impressed with stringsdirect, particularly for their swiftness - at times I have ordered strings at 3pm and they've arrived the following morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
