  1. 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]
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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]
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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)
  8. I await the cheque
  9. 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!
  10. This lot were flagged up on BassChat once and got lots of praise and enthusiasm from members here. So I thought I'd give a heads up that they are over in the UK playing the Borderline in London Monday 9th December http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EPwRdVg5Ug Tickets here: http://www.seetickets.com/event/lake-street-dive/borderline/720531
  11. Blues are lovely strings and the tarnish is easily removed with a wet rag and toothpaste!
  12. Hey Lonestar, not Earls Court but same tour. This is gonna make me into a blubbering mess http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsjdSbmSECk
  13. Yep Clarky here again. Yadda yadda. Does it get more boring and predictable? Needless to say Chris is a legend
  14. [list] [*][url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/204959-db-luthiers-thread/"]http://basschat.co.u...uthiers-thread/[/url] [*] [*]Or Clive Wilkinson in Nottingham, as recommended by esteemed BC moderator ubassman (see post #14 in linked thread) [/list]
  15. Who mentioned banjos? [attachment=147271:deliverance_dueling_banjos.jpg]
  16. Rory booought some DB strings off me. All good and - as above - would happily deal with him agaiin
  17. 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.
  18. I just did this for a set of DB strings on BassChat. I offered to refund before receipt of strings, even though they did not appear to be faulty when I sent them on. I think this community thrives on trust and that is my guiding principle (as long as the other party isn't a random joiner with no posts and no feedback)
  19. Don't be scared about using gentle force - I use my thumb to gently force the bridge back into position. The tension of the strings (60 pounds plus with Spiros) is such that, unless you are extremely clumsy, it won't suddenly flip over and collapse on you. Its quite easy to move the bridge 1cm or so gradually with no risk at all, in my view. Just be patient and brave!
  20. Just brilliant, the energy of the man and sidekick Warren Ellis is staggering. Entry fee alone was justified by the most stunning version of 'Jubilee Street' with a crashing 90mph, wall-of-noise finale Catch him on this tour if you can
  21. Given the sad news of Lou Reed's untimely demise, I saw this on another forum and thought I'd post up. Its Herbie Flowers talking through his creation of the bass line. Interesting stuff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBXUP5GqYJs
  22. [quote name='Cyrene' timestamp='1382828093' post='2257089'] [s]Hats[/s] Berets off. [/quote] Corrected
  23. Nice one Nige and crew! As others have expressed, its a crying shame you weren't in the vid. It needs more flared leather trousers
  24. Brief window with internet - strings are sold
