Extracting The Urine For Strings

[WHUFC BASS]

Really? Do they come with dancing girls and a free case of beer ? They'd want to at that price ...

Maybe that's for three sets?

Some people would tell you that this is just normal pricing for R*ckenb*cker... three times what the thing is worth...  I wouldn't know, never played one and never likely to.

I've not played on one for many years. I suppose the ones I did play on would now be considered vintage! I'm sure they make some fine instruments but the ones I played on were akin to a piece of slate baton nailed to a cupboard door. Blummin horrible. I can't remember ever having GAS for a Rick as a result! 😀

The best basses ever made.

However, I wouldn't buy those strings, regardless of whether they include  "FREE UK SECOND CLASS POSTAGE".

A 105 E string with a 115 B string? 🧐

Should be more like 125/130 surely.

That's what I thought when I saw the price but it doesn't make any mention of multiple sets. Unbelievable.

Nickel too, not even stainless steel!

Someone is removing the micturate, and no mistake.

They're actually labelled 'Round Wound NikkL', picture of a 4-string on the packet, and the aforementioned 105/115 E/B?

A top quality product all round. Buy with confidence... 😃

Gimme a P!

Business is seemingly good!

Actually, I need one of those cross-head screws for a Ric bass tuner!
