Velvet Blues * traded *
£60

I got these strings a month or two ago from BC'er Rabbie and really like them (got loads of compliments at the Bluegrass 'Sorefingers' weekend on the tone). However, I wanted something a little more dark and gut-like so I am now using Velvet Animas, the (twice as expensive, ouch) thicker cousins of Blues. The strings are in good condition and I have cleaned them up with toothpaste and wet rag to restore much of their copper-y brightness (makes no odds to sound, they just look more shiny!)

Here's Rabbie's ad [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/218988-velvet-blues-for-sale-sold/"]http://basschat.co.u...-for-sale-sold/[/url] I paid £65, so how about £55 posted for a very good condition set of strings that would normally set you back about £130 [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/velvet_blue_doublebass_strings.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...ass_strings.htm[/url]

Here's a clip of Velvet Blues (not me) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqOjIPWD-lQ[/media]

And a sound matrix so you can compare their sound (and hear that Animas and Garbos are darker and guttier) [url="http://www.hervejeanne.de/saitenmatrix.php"]http://www.hervejean...aitenmatrix.php[/url]

Hi Clarky, I have those weichs I bought from you early this year. I never used them and the bass I have seems to like the Animas. I'd be willing to trade them back for these Blues so I have a set when these Animas finally wear out (which could still be a long while).

PM me if you're interested and we can work something out.
