<BR> I heard the arledge strings in Reno. He had A LOT of ironing out to do. I've been a guinea pig for one bass string maker and won't do it again. I hope he turns out to make wonderful strings. We need all the quality suppliers we can support.

<BR>David, Carl, etc.,
<BR>I have used Arledge for the past year or so, and have had him make at
<BR>least a half dozen sets. Each set is getting better. He seems to be
<BR>getting his process ironed out. The first set was a little bit of an
<BR>adventure. Something obviously wasn't looking right to him, and he
<BR>kept calling back and asking for new measurements. I prefer that to
<BR>having a bad set, I must say. That set wasn't perfect, but it worked
<BR>out ok. It may have had something to do with the way I was measuring,
<BR>for all I know. The two times that I have had a problem with a string
<BR>he sent a replacement string overnight. No complaints here. He is very
<BR>pleasant to work with.
