Damo200 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) Complete set of Pirastro flat chromesteel (E string, not C extension). On my bass for three weeks or so and like new. The cheapest you will find these for are £204 from Stringzone. I'll let them go for £80. These strings are real pot luck. On some basses they sound absolutely terrific, on others complete crap. Alas, on mine it was the latter. They are probably the toughest strings out there though so if they work for you, you'll never need a new set! Not really suitable for jazz but more orchestral bruisers. Hope you're all well! Damon Edited February 4, 2011 by Damo200
chrkelly Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Hi Damo, Are these the originals (White/blue spiral silks)?
Damo200 Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Hi Chris, Yeah, its those bad boys. I'm sure you know them, Leon swears by them (as do a lot of the guys) but you do need an 'open' bass. My hawkes is a bugger and only likes oblis and evahs it seems!
chrkelly Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 They're great strings. As you know I've got through quite a few different sets but always eventually put back on the old flatchromes. I really fancy trying these on my other bass but unfortunately the tax man has wiped me out, you don't fancy a swap for a set of Evahs (C ext) by any chance?
Damo200 Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Done! I'll message you my address and vice versa. I'll get them out for you friday 1st class if thats ok?
