I've just been ordering some bass guitar strings online.
Is it just me? Or do shopping sites for guitar strings look strangely like sites for buying condoms? Maybe it's the use of black as background colour. Maybe it's the brand names. Maybe it's the way they're so much cheaper online than in the shops. It's one of those things where, if you buy online, it's cheap, but if you want one in a shop, they reckon you want it now, and aren't really going to be comparison-shopping...
Anyway, I've looked at the "super longs" and the "double ball ends", considered "La Bella" and "Elite" brands, and decided whether I want them ribbed or smooth, and finally ordered myself a pack of D'Addario EXL220 supersoft.
