  1. Long story but I bought these when I bought my Pfreftzchner Ali bass, largely because the bass itself was under my budget and because the seller recommended them on the instrument in question. A few months on and I'm very happy with the combination of Evah's and guts I have one there and am not sure using these will improve things much. I'm going to have to suck up a bit of a financial loss, but in the grand scheme of things............. Bought from Stringzone, RRP £673 (I know......). They're still in original packaging, never removed, and carton etc https://www.thestringzone.co.uk/pirastro-eudoxa-double-bass-strings-set 56AD905D-20B9-40A9-89C5-046FD807D79B_1_201_a.heic
  2. Wonderful timing for a project I'm just about to kick off, could I take those off your hands please ? Clue to the project.....
  3. Yes, if you want to avoid the madness in question, accept that Spiros are pretty good strings, sound great, are used by a lot of pros, are relatively inexpensive, don't require too much care, and last a decent amount of time. The other road, as you suggest, heads to madness
  4. Thanks Tony, re the Nadine I bought it on this site a few months back 👍
  5. Nordstrand NP4A £70 Bought for a specific project that probably won't happen now, brand new in box, bought from Bass Direct https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Nordstrand_Precision_pickups.html Lovely staggered pole pieces
  6. Having a clear out of the bass box, a lot of goodies to be listed! Badass II unused £75 SOLD As you are probably aware, these either do, or don't, improve your tone massively
  7. Now using the rather splendid Nadine Ear Trumpet into a hopefully equally splendid Grace Felix so these are redundant 👍 1. Schertler Stat-B set, over £500 at Thomann https://www.thomann.de/gb/schertler_stat_b_set_2.htm. This has seen quite a lot of use but still a a bargain at £100 **SOLD**
  8. Like it 👍
  9. And gone! it’s gonna be transformed into a full-blown Charlie Tumahai Sig, Warmoth neck ordered, blonde finish ordered, rather pleased TBH 👍
  10. Hey Mark, hope all’s well, unidentified flats at present, happy to switch I have, shall we say, something of a collection 👍
  11. Sorry missed that post I’ll check now 👍
  12. Whitstable Kent but can also post 👍
  13. Mine hasn’t paid for itslf in gigs but in reduced cost of therapy 🙏
  14. Music is an aesthetic and increasingly the visual and audio components of that aesthetic diverge; modelling instruments, convenience instruments (e.g., EUBs), real time audio correction etc all take away so much authenticity. A nice big Ali bass puts a whole load of it back in the mix, metaphorically and literally 👍
  15. They have a similar effect on an audience as does driving down the street in a 50’s Chevvy on a bunch of pedestrians. takes people back to a different time and place, which given that’s often why the audience is watching the genres in question in the first place, it just adds to the feeling ❤️
  16. If I had a pound for each question I’ve answered about this bass either tjis time around or the last time when I listed the body only I would have enough cash to keep the bass! I’ve been wanting to do the full CT Sig on this bass for a while now, so if it doesn’t sell by the end of the day that’s what I’m going to do. Kinda hope it doesn’t sell now 😆
  17. Subscribed 👍
  18. I do quite like the Bace though 👍
