Velvet Blue strings, SOLD

[Clarky]

I bought a few day-old, as-new set of Velvet Blues last week for about £85 from an Italian seller on TalkBass (they come up about £135-150 new). I didn't get on with Garbos and thought the slimmer Blues would suit me better. They have nice low/medium tension and are gratifyingly loud (they would be great for busking!). Tone-wise they seem half way between steels (they are copper-wrapped) and gut-alikes. I am not going to stick with them as they make my old German 3/4 bass quite dark sounding (Spiros are brighter sounding on this bass). Any interested at £80 posted? Very good, virtually as-new condition still

Cheers Clarky

Ps if you want to hear how they sound here's a guy fromTalkbass playing some Velvet Blues

As they said on the Flashing Blade, its better to have fought and lost than never fought at all
