Top Grade Kevlar Core Nylon specially made FOR FMI.

Unique Upgrade in Weedwackers, only by FMI

  • E/A strings - stiffer - aren't overly floppy like every other set of weedwackers
  • Much bigger sounding
  • Absolute best made
  • Used by country, bluegrass, rock and even some jazz players instead of expensive gut strings.

    Played and Endorsed
    by Jimbo Wallace
    of Reverend Horton Heat.
    Link to their MySpace page for music HERE<=
    And their main website page HERE<=
    In case you don't know, they are about THE most popular/famous rockabilly/psychobilly band on the planet.

    Recent email from Jimbo Wallace:
    "Hey Tom , Jimbo here. Good to hear from you! We just got back from Germany where we played at a big psychobilly festival called Satanic Stomp.

    Brad at King Double Bass flew over for a bass giveaway and to provide a bass for me to play. Anyway, it had Eurosonic strings on it and it made me really miss the beefyness of the Weedwacker Pro's.

    As you recall we had been in the studio recording our new cd and I used my Pro's on the new stuff. They sounded great ! Everyone was quite impressed with the tone. I also enjoyed the playability of the strings.
    They are smooth, bassy, with great natural sounding attack( slap, tick ).

    We are still in the mixing stage of the recording but as soon as that's done , I'll send you a copy along with photo's !
    I'm preaching the gospel of Weedwacker Pro's to everyone I meet... Later, Jimbo"

    ==> Here's another bass player commenting on his Weedwacker Pro's: "...The "Pro" strings seem to have better clarity. The Jam went really well. Like I said in the earlier e-mail it was a really noisy room and everyone could hear them fine. ...I tried another brand, Salty Dog, and just did not like the sound. Too soft and not enough volume. Thanks again for a good product. I'm very satisfied with them. William Hicks"

    AND one more bassist giving his experience:
    "Hi Tom, I play them on my second bass and they are a good choice....better than the old thin weedwackers(hbss - Hillbilly Slap Strings) from Larry, much better...they`re the closest string to gut.......and my alternative string, if I don't play guts. Greets Herbert" from Germany.

    This is a 4 string set, E A D G for upright bass,
    and will fit up to a 4/4 bass.

    Here's our store front and our ever changing Wall of Basses:

    We have more than 20 Upright Basses ready to play in our store at all times, and LOTS more in boxes in the warehouse.
    More of what we sell can be seen Here<=

    We have come up with a very unique kevlar core weedwacker line where the E and A are thicker and stiffer than the usual gauges. The PROOF is in the feel and sound of our Pro's.

    You should SEE the faces of players who try them in our shop, they light up BIG TIME because these Weedwacker Pro strings are a BIG Improvement:
  • Bigger volume
  • Stiffer E/A - give more control, faster slap, useful for bluegrass etc
  • A little more sustain

    Useful on Electric Uprights too and give a big fat warm bass tone!

    Ray Ramirez Basses in Puerto Rico puts our Weedwackers on his basses for that
    Latin Bass Sound.

    Get that short sustain, F-A-T bass sound out of your Electric Upright Bass with our new
    Weedwacker Pro Lights.

    Weedwacker Pro Lights have thinner E and A strings than the thick PROs,
    helps them fit into
    Electric Upright Basses.

    We have in-between gauges of kevlar core stiffer nylon that is different from anything else on the market, these are specially made FOR US.
    Combine these with the lighter tension D/G of our Pro Lights and you get the fastest lightest slapping action of gut sounding weedwacker strings!

    Great balanced feel and action for fastest slapping.

    Need amplifying as these Weedwacker Pro Lights E/A don't have the volume of the beefier Weedwacker Pro E/A.


    Get this Weedwacker Pro set for nearly any kind of bass playing.
    If weedwackers were too loose and floppy for you, TRY THESE. You'll be happy with them or your money back.

    Ends of D & G strings are knotted then swaged with a stop sleeve(metal cylinder pinched on tightly),
    E and A are knotted -this keeps the strings from pulling thru the tailpiece,
    and each string is fitted with an E, A, D or G label.
    No need for a felt pad as there is NEVER any vibration caused in the tailpiece from them.

    Play LONG Gigs without tearing your fingers up!

    If you can't afford $250 and up gut, these are the next best thing going for great slapping sound and action, and WARM tone to the MAXXX!!

    BIG Acoustic sound and they amplify well so why wait any longer, grab a set or two of weedwackers for your bass.

    Lifetime warranty against fraying or breakage.

    The slap sound gives a good clean click without heavy metallic slap like steel strings and some other slap strings do.

    Great for Bluegrass, Country, Gospel etc; can be heard throughout a LARGE room, and if you're amplifying then of course they'll be heard well at any gig.
    Click the buy-it-now button to order now.

    WE SHIP promptly all over the world.
    Our Weedwackers ARE World Famous!
