Hi,
I'd like a couple sets of Rickenbacker 95403s for my 360, but everyone is either out of stock or charging high prices esp when you add shipping? Can anybody recommend a good source or an alternative? (Sam Ash seems to have the best price, but they're out of stock at the moment.)

Re: Shortage of "affordable" 95403 strings
If you're thinking of the new 95403s that are roundwound (not compressed) 10-46, you could probably substitute any number of brands and not tell the difference. A 3-pack of D'Addario EXL110 is currently about $14 on Amazon. Hope this doesn't get me banned from the forum.

D'addario 12-string sets have a plain G and plain A octave, and a weak 008 G octave. No es bueno IMHO.scott_s wrote:If you're thinking of the new 95403s that are roundwound (not compressed) 10-46, you could probably substitute any number of brands and not tell the difference.

95403 are just regular 6-string 10-46, right? I would definitely be more picky with a 12-string!jdogric12 wrote:D'addario 12-string sets have a plain G and plain A octave, and a weak 008 G octave.

My bad! My brain just defaults to 12-string!scott_s wrote:95403 are just regular 6-string 10-46, right?
