I have been hiding in a cave for a while..... but I had to poke my head out and share some good news
after a little over a year I was finally able to get more of these awesome strings.
dean (the proprietor of SOBS ) no longer does direct sale he is now using third party vendors so there should be no more dealing with him directly. but.... the price has now increased a few bucks so that the vendors can get their cut.
that makes them about the same price as the pyramid maximum performance set's

these are the only places I have found them at so far, but now they ship on time!
(since we don"t have to rely on dean any longer)
