    I do believe you mean 2000 gbp 😀

    The (sort of) attempted wrapped gut-like D and G strings of the RS4000 set, as played by Herbie Flowers on Walk on the Wild Side etc. Nylon wound on nylon, very low tension and - depending on your bass - may need to be double wound around tailpiece so that the silks don't encroach on the bridge (I had to for my old German 3/4). Stringsdirect sells for £92 for the pair, how about £42 posted in UK? Been on my bass for only a few hours, home only playing time.

    Ribs and right forearm. Who mentioned wrist?

    My new Rick 4003S (arrived a week or so back) and wouldn't accept a jack cable. I thought about returning it but it would have been a major pain as there was no replacement in stock. After @Old Horse Murphy kindly showed me (with photos of the innards of his 4003S) how to tweak the retaining spring, I adjusted it and within seconds it was sorted.

    Actually really enjoying it! Played it this evening and the neck, weight and body contouring all suit me better than the 4003 it replaced

    I accidentally ordered one set too many of La Bella LTFs for Fender P. Most retailers have them for about £50, if they have them in stock at all (those in stock include Amazon £55, Andertons £56 etc) £40 posted in UK. Decent saving for a completely new, unopened set of strings! Will post pic later but it looks like a new unopened packet!!!

    Dunc bought back the Shergold he had previously sold to me, having missed his mojo'd old friend (the bass, not me). All was excellent!

    I would have much preferred to sell my 4003 last month on BC but was forced into using eBay. While it did eventually sell to a nice guy, I got some absurd offers and a request to meet somewhere unspecified and get payment in cash (yeah right ... )

    The original poster hasn't been on Basschat for nearly a year. Try using the private messaging function and maybe it will send him an email alert?

    Alan bought an AVRI 62 Jazz from me and was a gent throughout.

    @warwickhunt you were once interested in a Stingray shortie (and this is a very good price)?
  21. Clarky
    I would certainly grab one if available for £250 in vgc

    Aquila are now manufacturing some strings specifically designed to replicate the famed Kaplan 'Golden Spirals' used by many famous 50s/60s player (and later by Charlie Haden). They come in two flavours - Vintage (nylon wrapped gut D and G) and Synthetic (nylon-wrapped synthetic core; D and G, plus copper flatwound wrapped E and A). They do sound fantastic. Video of Herve Jeanne playing the synthetic set below. And here is the TalkBass thread that charts the development of these strings. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/about-a-possible-replica-of-the-kaplan-golden-spiral-gut-strings.1531645/ They are not yet on their website (apparently will be shortly) but the full synthetic set is about €185 +VAT (€85 for D/G pair and €90 for EA/pair), while gut D/G is €220 + VAT

    @molanknows Pierre the owner well, if I recall correctly. Errr and I once sold him a bass when he was a member of BassChat!

    Come on Chris. You are just trying to trick us into googling 'Russian blonde'

    If I said I have a Takamine TB-10 and your list in the post above didn't include this would it send you full-blown Inspector Dreyfuss? Kill Clouseau, kill Clouseau...
