Lined Fretless neck - why did I wait sooooo long!
Clarky replied to steviedee's topic in Bass Guitars
I have a tiny blob of tippex on the 'far side' of my double bass neck at the octave as its so bloody far away its useful when looking down the neck to get a sense of bearing -
Spirocore 3/4 Mittel (medium) * SOLD *
Clarky replied to Clarky's topic in EUBs & Double Basses For Sale
Hey there! I would say these are a bit high tension for an EUB. In my experience, people with EUBs tend to prefer low tension strings (eg Spiro Weich if wanting steel strings, Innovation Silver Slaps if wanting a gut-alike) and these are medium tension. Wouldn't want you to buy them and then find they are a slightly too much like hard work -
I have been playing [i]Velvet Blues[/i] on my 3/4 bass for the last several weeks and really enjoy them. Got lots of compliments on the tone at the Bluegrass weekend. Only trouble is they are touch too bright and sustain a little longer than I would ideally wish for. I foolishly sold (yes, I know ...) a set of [b]Velvet Animas[/b] some months back and now realise their darker, thumpier tone suits my German flatback bass really well. So does anyone have any good condition used Animas for sale?

NB, Megadeth is a particularly large book at just over 200 pages. Paypal as a gift please.

Actually seeing the price of another set on BassChat I will knock down the price on these to £60 posted - which is under half new price Here they are (the slightly tattier D is on the left - it seems unavoidable with these strings as the silks are ridiculously fragile and the D string passes over the G tuning peg, so always gets more wear than the others) [attachment=147558:DSCF0617.JPG] -
Been sitting gathering dust in my study. Bought a few years ago (c.2006-7) when I had joined a thrash band and wanted to brush up on my metal bass. Was originally intending to sell as a job lot but now selling individually - for prices see post 4 below Metallica - Black album bass tab book Metallica - And justice for all bass tab book (yes there was bass on the album!) [s]Metallica - Master of Puppets bass tab book Metallica - Ride the lightning bass tab book[/s] Metallica - Bass legendary licks - a look at the bass styles of Metallica [s]Megadeth - the best of (bass tab)[/s] Black Sabbath - riff by riff bass tab [s]Iron Maiden - Steve Harris: The beast of the bass (tab book)[/s] Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction bass tab book Best of Slipknot - bass tab book This lot probably cost me somewhere in the region of £150-200 (the Metallica books were £15-20 each). Some were very hard to track down and I'm not sure they are all still in production

My spare set of Spirocore mediums in good but not perfect condition (the fragile peg-end silks that is, mainly the D which is a little frayed; the playing area is still in fab condition). Years of life in these jazz standard strings [s]£70[/s] £60 posted Best new price I can see is about £125 posted from Thomann [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomastik_spirocore_02.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...pirocore_02.htm[/url]

Dug out an oldie. Wow this is so mellow and beautiful. Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny, the album is 'Beyond the Missouri Sky' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLcp13yWoMc

I just sold some Olivs but the D and G were not new when I got them. They de-tuned overnight often, depending on temperature and humidity change. But when playing them i didn't notice any meaningful tuning shifts. So in short I guess they do settle down but will never be completely stable tuning-wise (like any gut string)

This is a very useful piece of kit for gigging double bass. Converts any amp into one with DB functionality as it offers a high pass filter (to cut low end boom) and a phase switch (to fight feedback) as well as impedance matching your piezo pickup and amp. Damn cheap for how useful it is, too! So BassChat DB'ers, if you don't have one already, you should!

Clarky posted a topic in General Discussion
This lot were flagged up on BassChat once and got lots of praise and enthusiasm from members here.
