Going for the One. Just for the opening bars of Parallels alone, let alone the rest

Michael League demo'ing the same model as yours, Essential Tension

I bought a set of DB strings from Andy. Perfect in every respect - friendly comms, well packed and kept informed every step of the way. Nice one matey!
-
ooh thats lovely. I drooled for ages over the TV yellow version of this model that was at BassDirect around a year back. Funds were not forthcoming at that point so I missed it, boo!

I have an AI Clarus and - as others have said - it sounds better with DB, likewise I at one time had an EA Micro 550 which was better with DB. HOWEVER, in each case this can be rectified simply via a warm-sounding preamp (eg Sansamp BDDI, MXR M80, EBS ValveDrive, etc etc) or overdrive pedal (TC Mojo comes highly recommended on BC for a low cost option, or Darkglass Vintage Microtubes for pricier option). I have an EBS Valvedrive (valve-driven preamp) and this helps my my electric bass sound fab through the AI.

*SORTED* Anyone selling a set of Silver or Golden Slaps?

I know this could go in Items Wanted but I have a feeling few people read that forum. My preferred strings are Pirastro Perpetual steel (like a softer, more flexible Spirocore) but I may be playing some fast country/cowpunk stuff with a new band and I think the super low tension of Silver/Golden Slaps will suit that specific setting better. So does anyone have a spare set they want to sell (not the Super SIlvers BTW, only the regular Silver or Golden Slaps, thanks)? Cheers

Always wanted to try a Gretsch Broadkaster (MIJ around 10 years ago) and have finally snaffled one. Short scale thumpy with flats on and should work well in my country/blues tinged bands.

If anyone is into matching pairs of basses, you could buy this beauty and a near-identical Passion 3 fretless currently FS at BassDirect http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Vigier_Passion_Series_III_Amber.html -
Wonderful design by Rolf Spuler RIP -
I really don't need this so how about £33 posted?

Need a backup @jazzyvee ? -
My acoustic/Americana/blues outfit live from Upton Blues festival a couple of weeks ago. This time I am playing a Takamine TB10 on an endpin, rather than the fully monty DB. The video is embedded on the page https://wilybo.com/acoustic-band-videos/1982-2/

Nick bought some DB strings off me. Friendly comms, prompt payment. All good!

Great that they worked out for you 😁

US made piezo pickup with basic ziplock attachment cable for bridge. Similar to well-known K&K Bass Max but without the neat bridge fixing. Bought as a backup and never used. The very last thing in my double bass drawer clear-out! £42 posted (which is less than half the Bass Max' ~£110-120 price tag ... and also less than the £55 I sold one of these for on BassChat in 2011!)

Another vote for Hemispheres and Permanent Waves. Which is two

The tension on La Bella Mustang flats is definitely not high, I would say roughly medium. If you want low tension, then Thomastik JF324 medium scale flats work really well on a through body Mustang.

Change of heart. This will be useful for smaller, scuzzier gigs where its built-like-a-tank qualities may come in useful!!!! Withdrawn -
I had a mixed set of 4/4 Spiro Mittels (I bought the G new a year ago, rest were s/h of indeterminate age from TalkBass) up for sale on the forum for a cheap £55 posted. Withdrew them this morning (for use as gigbag backups) but would still sell them on if you wanted?
