Cheers Jon and TTT!

On further reflection, I am going to keep hold of my red Jazz and continue looking to sell my 74/5 Jazz as I need the extra money So .... £2050 for one sexy mofo of real 70's Jazz, anyone?

True, my timing is not perfect. Just like my bass playing

I imported this from Mike Arnopol in the US and can confirm its exceptionally good for acoustic type situations. I specifically bought it for double bass, at which it excels. These come very highly recommended by the US TalkBass community for double bass

OK, one last bump for my 74/5 Jazz before I sell the 2000 'hot rod red' US standard Jazz instead and hang on to my sunburst beauty. Any takers at £2050, last price drop?

If this doesn't sell, my other Jazz will have to go (US standard in hot rod red with Wizards and 62RI controls; worth £625): [attachment=152384:jazz red.jpg][attachment=152385:jazz red 2.jpg] Edit: These are old FS pics from simon1964 which I hope he doesn't mind me using (I actually got the bass from Old Horse Murphy)

Update: the German BC'er (for whom this was on hold since before Christmas) was unable to go ahead with the purchase, unfortunately. Hence this is back up for sale

Presto strings sold. Danny T's and Velvet Animas still available

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!!!!
