Elixir strings would be my option. Great tone, feel lovely on the fingers and they last for a hell of a long time. I have a set on my bass for 6 months now and they are still spot on. All you got do is give them a wipe down immediately after gigs/rehearsals and thats it

Yeah, had some previously and they were great. Just restrung though.

Strings would probably be my choice too. Even though you have just restrung, you'll end up restringing again at some point.

Yep, this would be my theory too.

Slightly over budget but well worth the extra tenner

That's cool. Have a zoom b1 but a couple of buttons are bust. This could be just the ticket. I'll do a bit of YouTube research.

Anything else out there?

Roughly 35 quids worth.

Pepsi throwback or Pepsi Wild Cherry, the American stuff loaded with cane sugar not that corn derived sh%te.
It's just amazing!

Maybe a bluetooth speaker for the bathroom, showers are great when accompanied by music/podcasts B)

I'd (+1) this with one notable exception. For strings, Luthier's choice is the canine 'nads

I only know the string cleaner, but if the other two are anywhere near as good then get the set 👌

I got one of these; surprisingly useful:

If I didn't have one already, I'd spend the voucher on a very cool transparent Makala reproduction of a 50s maccaferri plastic ukulele:

It plays & sounds much nicer than such a cheap uke has any right to.

Tc electronic clip on tuner, i paid £24 but think tgeyre back to £30 ... Fantastic little tuner and lovely and clear display....

Also, if you already have a tuner, the amazon fire stick is £30 and can be jail broke for kodi very very very easy. U tube guide throughs by the dozen.

Go for the B1ON even if you never use the effects it's a battery powered practice machine. Drums, metronome, tuner iPod mixing. I'm off to sit next to Mrs S, whilst she watches 'Call the Midwife' I'll be rocking out silently with the headphones on.
