Ah well, so I’m selling mine too dear then 😉

Took some better photos…

Reduced to £410 posted. Hi all, this is a great little amp as you probably all know. It was made in Italy in 2013. As a double bassist, I have gigged it, but only in the past 6 months, because previous to that I only had gigs where I could go through the house without an amp. I have only ever gone to 1/3 of the volume and all the eqs have always been flat, but I have never heard any crackles from any of the pots. It does not have a cover. I can add a kettle lead if you want it. It weighs about 14kg, so obviously collection is preferred, but I would post it in a non-original box with a courier. the price reflects the fact I may need to post it. If you collect it, I’ll knock a wee bit off it. no trades please because I don’t play electric. thank you very much

Still available. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions

Reduced to £70 posted (U.K.) Never been on my bass but spent 1-2 weeks on the previous owner bass, so it’s basically as new. Top quality gut wrapped in nylon like the famous golden spirals of Charlie Haden and Scott LaFaro fame.

These are wonderful strings but my new instrument unfortunately does not suit them as much. They are gut wrapped by red nylon, pretty much the same idea as the legendary Kaplan golden spirals made stuff of legend by Charlie Haden, Scott Lafaro and many more. Personally I’ve no idea if they sound exactly the same because I’ve never tried Golden Spirals, but they are certainly very similar in construction (apart from the nylon being red). This D and G combo costs £157 new, plus postage from the US taking them to £217 (if I calculated it correctly). These ones have had roughly 3 months of use, so apart from the slightly fluffed end silk when taking it out of the D tuning peg, they are in excellent state of health.

This is a magnificent opportunity for the gut lover: a new set of Chordas costs £553 in the U.K., and the Carlos Henriquez model are special order. these are 2 weeks old, hence better than new, because I stretched them for you. Here’s their story: I bought them from Germany, which meant I had to pay an additional £100 import taxes since we are now ex-Europe… I installed them on my bass and patiently gave them 2 weeks to settle before concluding that they are not what my bass prefers, or maybe just not what my ears prefer…either way, I’ll pass them on (in exchange for money). As to be expected with guts, the tip of D is slightly squashed by the pegbox, but that’s totally normal and has no repercussions on the life of the string.

I tried to sell this when it was less than a week old, then decided to keep it; now it’s less than a month old and I’ve decided I really don’t need it, so this time it’s going! here’s my original post 3 weeks ago

Only 1 x E available now £50 U.K. posted

Cream crackers behind second photograph are not included…or indeed they can be if the price is right.

Here is from that New York New York, the David Gage Realist Lifeline Pickup. I had this on my bass for a few weeks but never gigged it. Surplus to my requirements. Hence the sale. I paid £195 so I think £150 is fair. U.K. postage included of course.

I have 2 E strings and 2 A strings, all of them 3 to 4 months use at the very very maximum and no gigs (I was experimenting on both basses).

Withdrawn - I’ll keep it The holy grail of the G!! many, many, oh so many paragraphs of praise have been written about it. Everyone who plays awesomely plays one, from Patitucci to Grenadier… I can see why, it’s fantastic…but I’m fine with Spiros just now. Less than a week on my bass (Saturday to Wednesday- today). UK postage included.

Evah Pirazzi Weich (light tension) E only. 3-4 months of use. they retail at £70 for the E so I think £50 is a good bargain, postage included. Thank you very much

Here’s a wonderful pair of gut strings very rare to find on our shores. Made in Italy by Toro strings, a family business in the Abruzzo region, which has been making quality strings for a very long time: here’s the site link http://www.torostrings.it/english/index.html I managed to import these just before Brexit and I have had them on one of my basses for about 6 months. They are made of mutton serosa and have the kind of tension that would equal a Gamut Medium (I.e. very easy on the hands yet excellent tone and sustain). I am moving away from gut for a little while, hence the sale. They are in wonderful condition because, for reasons I won’t have to explain, they haven’t had the chance to be gigged…ever! The D strings is a double twist type, like the Gamut Pistoy, whilst the G is a more regular twist, like the Gamut Lyon or Pirastro Chorda.

Ok Chris, thank you. PM coming up.

Gamut Lyon G and Gamut Pistoy D. both medium gauge. Best gut strings on the market! 8 months use. I prefer to sell together. Price new would be £85 for the G and £150 for the D plus lots of money for shipping and import duties from the US, so I think the price is fair. The Stings have been well maintained and regularly oiled when required so they have a long life left in them. the photo is of them mounted on my bass, but if you want I’ll take photos of them separately off the bass. Selling because I am switching that bass to wrapped guts and synthetics and I have spare gut strings in the house if I want to go back to them. Free U.K. postage

And Lodekka knows about basses, he is a wonderful player, professional and man, so please consider his comment as very true indeed. I do not unfortunately possess a spare £3,5 grand, but otherwise I’d be seriously thinking about it. Roberto.

Dictum bass wheel 10mm shaft, brand new. I’ve had it in the house since before lockdown but I have never used it for obvious reasons... then I tried it today and discovered it doesn’t fit my bass. It costs £42 plus international postage from Thomann, so I think £40 posted to the U.K. is fair.

Price reduced to £150 posted to bring it down lower to what they fetch on eBay used.

Oh, In fact, I do have a 9v power supply I can add if you need it. Also, postage (uk) is included.
