Good for metal type bump!

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

I assume its still wearing the black nylon flat strings, Jas, like in the video in my ad? It also has the original bronze strings in the case and here's a video where you can hear how they sound (a lot brighter and less DB-ish than the black nylons) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQEn2jlaGd4

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]

I can only endorse what Jas said. Its a fabulous acoustic bass, the best I have played. I only sold it on as it wasn't going to get used in my band. Its also in minty fresh condition

I await the cheque

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!

Blues are lovely strings and the tarnish is easily removed with a wet rag and toothpaste!

Withdrawing from sale. I don't need the money right now, I've had no offers to pick up the bass locally, and its also a pleasure to play and a joy to behold. I may reconsider at a later date but for now, please close this thread mods.

Brief window with internet - strings are sold
