Rabbie Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 (edited) Offers and trades considered as long as they are double bass related. If you are thinking of trading I can consider - gut strings; - light weight cabs for stage monitoring; - double bass stage mics or pickups like Ehrlund. But cash is king!

Beedster Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Always wanted to try the famed Olive G Rabbie, will it fit a 4/4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbie Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 I think so mate. Maybe check the Pirastro site first though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbie Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 According to the Pirastro site, they only come in 3/4 size…strange but if that’s from the horse’s mouth.

Rabbie Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 I have noticed a website that has a reduced price for Olivs (G at £130 and D at £140)… so I cut these prices too - £90 for the G - D string is at £90 and £100 - £270 for all 3 posted (UK)! thou shalt not find cheaper Olivs (unless you add an “e” at the end, but that’s a different thing).

Rabbie Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 They’re on eBay now, but I would very much welcome an offer here 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Hey Rabbie, I get the impression that quite a few folks playing 4/4s use Olivs, so unless they make/used to make a 4/4 set I'm assuming these might do the trick, any chance you could measure them for me, and possibly let me know the playable length also i.e., without silk? No rush mate 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbie Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Hey mate, having measured one of the D strings: they are 182cm length. The bottom silk at tailpiece is 11cm including the metal ball and the top silk at scroll is 35cm. I may be a few millimetres out…I guess the G will be the same?

Beedster Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Thanks Rabbie, much appreciated, it would put my mind at rest if you could check the G is the same, and I'll start measuring at my end 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbie Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 No worries. Looks like the G measures 178cm but the top silk is 32cm. Also remeasured the D at 182cm with the top silk at 36cm. both bottom silks are 11cm ball included. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
