Brand new, 'opened' but never fitted, boxed, set of regular light gauge strings by D'Addario (made in the USA). Chrome flats, ECB81M.

045 - 065 - 080 - 100 Medium scale 32"

£14

I just bought these off a fellow BCer (for the same price I'm selling) and I went to all of the trouble to get him to check that the G string would fit my Bolin (seeing as how I've snapped x2 LaBella & x1 Thomastik G strings due to the Bolins short span from nut to locking tuner and there isn't enough silk wrap/taper)... however completely forgot to check the other 3 strings would fit. DOH! Needless to say I could fit the G string and then three strings from the LaBellas but they are going to be tonally completely incompatible.

So if you have a short/medium scale bass and want a cheap set of flats... here you go.

Shameless yes....
But made me titter, especially your handle!

It may well help but I've just measured the length of the string from ball end to the beginning of the silk wrap and the E string measures 34", the G srting is 36.5"
