Cheap bass strings
Q: I am not looking for the $30 strings that will last threw my grandchildren, I am looking for some that will get me by for a few months and preferably ranging from 5-13 dollars. Any ideas?
Sites, brands, stores ect.
A: I've had good luck with Musician's Gear strings. Probably one of the best $8 string sets around.
I'm not talking about regular strings, these are made to have a different sound, they are very flat and expensive. I want them for my old bass. Stores have them for $80. I'm not prepared to be ripped off here..
Anybody got a bass string sorce?

This mimics the standard Electric Bass tuning and is often referred to as Orchestral Tuning:. Most bass methods are designed with this tuning in mind and when classical composers are writing for the bass, their orchestration books tell them that this is how the bass is tuned. Although 3 string basses are largely a thing of the past, there are still uprights with 4 strings, with and without an extended E (aka “C” extension allowing the string to go to C or even B), and 5 strings....

About Me: Coming from the suburbs of the Windy City, you'll often find me with my foot in my mouth while laughing for no reason or telling bad knock knock jokes. I think it’ll be a fun little surprise gift, and I read somewhere (I don’t know if it’s true or not) that rented tuxes don’t come with cuff links, and apparently you need them for your tux....
While I'm thinking about it, why do they cost so much more?
