They'd be too short for an extra long scale. Sorry. -
D'Addario chromes, flatwound ECB81-5 string set. Cut for 34" four over one. Been on 20 mins. Another expensive exercise. After paying £72 for LaBellas, I thought these are worth a go for £59 Not for me. Put them on, plugged it in, played the intro to Midnight at the Oasis, took them off. 2mm of silk removed from the B and E due to saddle position but sealed with a dab of super glue to stop any unwinding. £30 inc postage to mainland UK

Recently took both sets off basses and have no need for them so, if anyone is finding things a bit tight, or is sorting out a project bass, here's a couple of sets going free. I just stuck £2 in as the price to cover a bit of the postage. I'll pay the rest if it's a UK mainland address. They're rounds, and both cut for four over one, 34" long scale. One set are 40-130 G-B The other set are (I think) 30- 105 C-E You won't be able to use on a four string unless it's a three over one. Looks like there's plenty of life in them so might do someone a turn. No idea of makes.-

Good point. At my age, I shouldn't do adverts at cocoa time😅 -
5 string set of DR Dragon skins. Fitted for a week, then back in box. Played for about 2 hours. Cut for a 34" four over one. £18 inc postage to mainland UK

As above nearly new, La Bella white nylons. 5 string set. Extra long (35" scale) cut for four over one headstock. Been on a bass for two weeks and probably played for 15 mins. Cost £76. So, £45 inc post to a UK mainland address.-

Rory bought my EBS session and ended up waiting over two weeks for the Xpress 48Hr delivery. A very nice, and very patient chap. Great comms, fast payment. Perfect BCer.

I was in a party/ function band in the 90s for about eight years. We had quite a few Police numbers under our belt and one night the vocalist, during introductions shouted ..and on bass, Spam. And so, I became Spam.

Me too, both parcels had unbreakable Gorilla tape handles that wrap right round a couple of times. I even write "Handle" on the handle😅 -
Well, if anyone on here happens to come across this bass at a gig, can you have a peek at the backline to see if they're also using my missing EBS combo. Thanks

Just bought another bass so this has to go now. Plays fab, sounds great, low action, working truss rod, active/passive, straplocks, Hipshot ultralites and Omega high mass bridge which allows string spacing options. These were just over £600 new so £295 seems very fair. Can't find a mark or ding on it. Pretty much mint. Happy to post, I have a carton. Guessing about £15. Or, come and try it out, tea and cake included. Will have new round-wounds fitted.-

We lived in France for 17 years and never had a problem with La Poste. Great compared to the cowboys we have to use here. I guess that's a geographical issue though. We were in the Limousin, an agricole heavy region so probably far less problems than in the big cities. Our french postie used to fetch and drop off medical prescriptions, collect an elderly neighbour's shopping and even stopped and changed a wheel for my wife.
