Clarky Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) I have a bunch of strings sitting around that would be better used on someone's bass! Up for grabs: [b]1. Danny Thompson Signature strings[/b] These are in 99% new condition - I bought a s/h set of prototypes on BassChat but these had problems and the Bass Centre were kind enough to send me brand new replacements (production model, not prototype) for three strings and the fourth string at a discount to new price. Put them on my bass and they are just a bit too high tension and stiff for me (I would describe them as similar in tension and feel to Spiro Mittels). Cost £145 new. Will sell for £85 posted, a bargain vs new price. [url="http://www.basscentre.com/elites-signature-series/elites-danny-thompson-double-bass-strings.html"]http://www.basscentr...ss-strings.html[/url] [s][b]2. Presto Nylonwound Ultralights[/b] Again very good condition, were on my Baby Bass as it needs very low tension. Large diameter, gut-like strings which are Ideal for slappers or those who prefer just about the lowest tension strings around (<50lb per string as compared with around 58-66 pounds on Spiro Weichs). New these run to £100 including post from Thomann. Will sell for £60 posted. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/presto_nylonwound_ultralight.htm"]http://www.thomann.d..._ultralight.htm[/url][/s] SOLD [s][b]3. Velvet Anima strings[/b] E/A/D used but excellent condition and brand new G (replacement from Velvet after original was faulty) that has been on my bass only a couple of days. £120 posted, so about half new price from European mainland (don't even ask about UK retail prices!). Amazing copper-wound, silk-core gut-sounding strings ... but on reflection I prefer the slimmer diameter and faster response of the synetic core Velvet Blues. [url="http://jazz.bassico.eu/462/93?l=en"]http://jazz.bassico.eu/462/93?l=en[/url] [/s]SOLD No offers on the above please as I think they are already very keenly priced. Sorry, not looking for trades either as I have enough strings!!!! Edited January 23, 2014 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
