strings galore

This is scary check it out, pics of my saved strings. Any body else have this problem.

I save them for when I am broke.

but for some reason I keep buying new ones and they never get used, and all the trebles are brand new.

Ah come on Gabe. You look like a Dutchman, who are known as the biggest skinflints.

Just donate them to your students.

Btw. I always throw them away, including the brandnew trebles when I don't feel like replacing them.

Well sometimes I do give them to my students but I save the trebles so some day I can make some mobiles out of them. I take the basses off before they get dull so if I need some decent strings I have them.

I am a little Dutch by the way hahahahaa.

Haha, but you never needed them before, like you said in your first post.
Yes, you definitely have some Dutch blood running through your vains.

I asked my music store if they could order me a whole **** load of saverez basses only, I'm still waiting to hear if that is possible, if I could buy 3 years worth of basses I could use my trebles.

Gabriel,
I know the Guitar Salon has a reputation for being expensive, but I haven't found a better price anywhere else for Savarez bass strings. I buy the red card (6th, 5th, and 4th are 526R, 525R, and 524R -- red card is the high tension) by the box -- they come 10 per box.

I talked to Hugo at 310 586-1180 hugo@guitarsalon.com

What treble strings do you like with them?
