UK MXers...help

[PainKiller8191]

hey guys my dad just is on a plane to london right now and I asked him to get me some strings or at least find out if it's cheaper there than it is here in isreal...

but the thing is i can't find any musician's friend-esque sites for the UK
so could u guys maybe tell me off the top of your heads how much would a 5-string roundwound medium gauge pack of strings cost
(looking for a bright sound, around d'addario, rotosound, and ghs)

thanks:wave:

In the shops around my area, I live in London, a 5 string set cost me around £26.

Well it's generally about £20 for a pack, if you're lucky you could find them for £15. This is for a standard 4 string set of most brands :thumb:

how about elixirs?

[Wintermute]

I've seen Elixirs going for anywhere between £30-£40 for a set of four. They're not cheap.

[PainKiller8191]

ah...nevermind about the elixirs then...

i'm almost 100% sure there's an online store for these things like musician's friend and music123.......but the search function's no good it should be in the resources section

www.stringbusters.co.uk

the ultimate string site.

[Wintermute]

http://www.soundslive.co.uk and http://www.gak.co.uk are the first places I tend to look.

[PainKiller8191]

wow soundslive is so much cheaper than gak....

on guitarampkeyboard a pack of rotosound swing bass 5 string costs 22 pounds...
and on soundslive 13.99....weird

so i guess at any random music store they would cost somewhere between those two or a little over?

thats a nice price either way, real cheap

Off, strings are a lot here...maybe £25
