ahpook Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) I've decided to start offering my old strings up for recycling, so for the price of a few quid into the Basschat coffers I'll pop them into almost-certainly used padded envelope sealed with too much cheap duct tape and post them off to you. I really don't like throwing things away that could still be of use, so this appeases my conscience and helps BC at the same time. Up for grabs in round one are [s]2 x Fender 45-100 Nickel[/s] [s]1 x Status 40-100 Standard Roundwound.[/s] I'm not going to police the donations as I know we're all honest gentlefolk, but £3 per set sounds like a good starting point to me. I change strings fairly often so these should all have plenty of zing in them. They're been trimmed, but not drastically, to jazz bass length (I'd say tuning head +6") Edited November 5, 2016 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Wasn't a BCer running a charity to send used strings to those who can't afford in poorer countries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldflows Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Thanks! I need a used set of flatwounds for one of my basses (it's from the 60s so I think it sounds better with well worn ones!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
