Back up for sale as the potential buyer didn't get on with the ergonomics.
Unfortunately I am without box for posting at moment, so its collection only in London (preferably Hammersmith area)
I had them lying around when I bought the bass but am 99% sure they are regular long scale 760FL.
From ball end to start of orange silk on E string is 37 inches as compared with between 33-34 inches on my La Bella Mustang 760 flatwound strings. Reason being the long tail piece of the Gretsch
Thanks Ben! Someone please make me a near offer and preferably collect* as I don't really want to sell on eBay (where I have had an offer)
* I am currently out of boxes large enough to post this as the Gretsch hard case is quite deep
Here's 2nd track, its a rough mix as the beginning bass line is a bit truncated. Will be fixed with final mix. Our punked up take on Irish poem Auld Triangle (singer Billy from Dublin and gives it his best Irish burr on this one)
Playing the Magic Garden in Battersea, onstage 9pm. We play a noisy mix of Stooges style garagey rock/punk, cowpunk and Pogues.
Yes we chose Friday 13th deliberately!

Here is our first release which has a kind of Iggy & The Stooges vibe. Our other material mixes country-punk and a bit of a Pogues flavour too

Cheers! Debut gig for The Chokeholds is next Friday at the Magic Garden in Battersea. Our first release (which is more of a Stooges vibe) is on Souncloud, will add link to BC recording forum.
PS, I am aware this is getting bumped too often today but I should have added the bass is wearing Pyramid flats for the full-on Free thump. I will now go quiet for 48 hours!
Thanks chaps, it wouldn't be going anywhere if I hadn't just spent a tidy sum on my fabulous '71 Mustang bass.
In fact if I am successful in selling one or two other basses, I might withdraw this anyway!
