headbanger_bassist Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 that sucks balls....but i wouldn't call it a ripoff. music in itself is a better reward than i could ask for, to me at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinned Alive Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 TWO sets of bass strings? you don't need two sets, mate. Bass strings last a fucking long time. That extra pack will soon be collecting dust on a shelf somewhere. $30 sounds about right for the repair job, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycdplayerisbroke Posted July 6, 2004 Author Share Posted July 6, 2004 yeah i didnt want to get 2 either but i had to get one cuz of the repair they put new strings on it. but one set cost $28 and 2 cost $40 so i figured it was a deal haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Peedston Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Yeah, so in about a year from now when the first set have finally bitten the dust, you won't have to pay anything for another set. :lol: I never really liked the flatwound strings all that much, though. They just don't feel right to me for some reason. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
