You were lucky

Its a tad frustrating as I wanted to give my (admittedly small bit of) biz to BassDirect rather than Amazon. Had I ordered with Amazon the strings would have been here 2 days ago. First world problem, I know. Its for a newly acquired bass that really is crying out for flats as its very retro:

Do flatwounds without the silks exist?
Clarky replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Accessories and Misc
I think they are still going. There are some ultra cheap black nylon flatwounds on Amazon. However, they have silks so not what the OP is after https://www.amazon.co.uk/Picato-String-Tapewound-Electric-Strings/dp/B07ZBCD4K7 -
Just an FYI, and this may have been discussed already or be a statement of the bleedin' obvious, but RM post times are now running to weeks. I sent some DB strings (1st class) to a BCer on Monday and they haven't arrived after 5 days. Likewise, I ordered some flatwound strings from BassDirect on Monday and they haven't arrived either. When I contacted Mark at BassDirect this morning to check the strings had been posted, he replied "Hi - the post office is a mess, there are literally dozens of artic lorries full of post to be sorted at most sorting stations, 25% of Royal Mail workers are off at the moment. Shipping is taking up to 3 weeks (and longer) with Royal Mail." So bear that in mind when buying or selling stuff using RM. Or, you know, sending letters and such like! (PS, not blaming RM staff who are doing the best job they can, just presenting the facts)

I have no bass money but would suggest you also post this up on the Alembic Club forum. BCer @jazzyvee is a frequent contributor to that forum http://club.alembic.com/index.php -

I keep doing his ... I bought these this week, popped them on my P bass and thought .. nah. Tension wrong. Should have learned last time I did this. Ho hum. They were on my bass for one day only and the silk ends have been only slightly trimmed for a 4-in-line Fender headstock. £32 posted. Most places have them well over £40 (eg BassDirect charges £47 plus £2 post)

I already texted him -
I know that @Ikedog was looking for one of these

Martyn just bought an old Fender JV bass from me and it was a top class buying/selling experience. Many thanks!

Brian bought a scratchplate from me and all was good! 🙂

Here is the Low End page to save googling http://www.lowendbassshop.com/node/21963 -
Lucky fella, I ummed and ah'ed about this beauty -
I had a CB Ball bass and the luthiery was absolutely masterful. I have no doubt this will be the same. I already have a short scale fretless (Rob Allen Mouse) or this would be under serious consideration
-
Just buy an Fdeck pedal (or clone), which will impedance match and - very usefully - give you control over feedback and low end rumble. Put that between your DB and any amp and hey presto
