my usual place used to do free delivery if you spent at least £6, now you need to spend £10, and with the postage strike they are not even doing that right now :(

after a place that sells daddario singles, although ernie balls will do

I get ALL my strings and accessories from there. Great prices, fast postage.

I get all my strings from Thomann - Usually buying other things at the same time though.

Strings direct for me too, need to place another order sometime soon as well.

stringbusters is cheaper than strings direct...

not too sure if they do single strings, though.

+1, very cheap if you're ordering something that takes you over the 199 Euros for free delivery.

Strings Direct are great too.

That's what I call sensible fiscal policy.

I knew I was setting myself up for that :oops: :lol: .

False economy. Like those Amazon offers that say "buy this CD with that one for just £21.56" and it's exactly what it would cost if you bought them separately.

But you know what I mean, I buy strings from Thomann when I'm already ordering something else. Like grabbing a Twix at the checkout in Sainsburys.

Dr Duck are the best AND cheap - at these prices it's worth a try. I've been using them for over a year now, they sound great and last for ages.
