chuck see crgastons link they can be had for a little bit less than I paid... yes they are expensive regardless but I expect Ill leave them on my bass for the next few years!

tom---- I received set of pyramid flats from chuck levins washington music center today less than 24 hours after ordering.great service from sean. you were right on with your recomendation.they are the same strings i have been looking for almost 20 years. strung them up on my elan plus and they sound great. very soft and slick,almost pornograpic. no string noise even with the trebel cranked up.again thanks.--------chuck

Chuck that is Great... Im very glad you got what you were looking for. I have had my set on my short scale for about 2 weeks now and I like them more and more each time I play the bass.
Chuck Levin seems to have some pretty good service all around, Ive heard others here mention getting very good service from them as well.
