Rabbie Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) This is a bit of history, I just don’t know how old... Top quality wound GUT core E string made by Pirastro. I bought it as new and unused old stock and it has been on my bass for a 2 hours practice session. It is a gorgeous string, stays in tune already, deep, dark, stunning sounding along with my Chordas D and G and my Oliv A, BUT...I’m an awkward sort and I missed the steel growl on the E string that sometimes I like as a mean of herding the sheep on a chord change... so, here it goes for sale. As an idea of how old it is, it says it was made in West Germany!...The windings are all intact but I took a photo of it mounted on my bass to show a slight difference in colour in the metal on a tiny area, if you magnify it you may spot it. As you will see by comparing the winding with my Oliv A string, there is no gaping though. I have had a wound gut winding open up on me in the past and it just separated without prior discolouration, so I guess this is just a metal thing through the years, goodness knows. As for the price, a new Oliv E would cost £228 so I guess £70 is fair for an old string of top quality only used for 2 hours? please feel free to ask any question Edited April 4, 2020 by Rabbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
