DR Sunbeams & EB Slinkies - brand new


Recommended Posts

I've become a complete convert to Elixir strings (especially the super light 40-95 set!).

I discovered I have three sets of DR Sunbeams that I've never opened - one set are in a slightly different box to the other two but I did buy them all at the same time. They are 45 / 65 / 80 / 100, nice gauge if you like a standard high pair but want a little less heft for the E & A strings :)

I've got a 4th set in the same gauge that have been cut for a 2 a side headstock that have been used for 1 90 minute gig.

Although I know it's a long shot I thought I'd see if there was anyone out there that might have some Elixirs they'd just like to swap for the Sunbeams? Just being lazy really & trying to do everything in one go rather than selling the DR's & then buying Elixirs with the money raised, lol.

Elixirs & DR's seem to be similar prices (maybe Elixirs are £2 more expensive?), happy to contribute a bit extra towards postage or maybe take some very low use Elixirs in exchange for the new DR's.

If not then I'll stick them up for sale if I don't get any trade responses after a couple of days.

I also have a brand new set of Ernie Ball Regular Slinky in a proper 'man's' gauge of 50 / 70 / 85 / 105. These came with a spare 50 & 85 for some reason! They have been removed from original plastic cover but still have all the paper wrappings. Never fitted or anything, just picked them up with a bass I purchased recently. Happy to offer these up plus some cash for Elixirs as well :rolleyes:

One set of the Sunbeams has gone along with the pre-cut set.

This leaves two sets of boxed Sunbeams & the EB Slinkies up for sale.

Sunbeams seem to be £28 at most of the specialist places so I'm looking for £20 each plus postage.

I'd like £15 for the EB's (taking into account there's a couple od spare strings here).

[quote name='theosd' post='870870' date='Jun 18 2010, 03:29 PM']Can get a new set of sunbeams for £22 from Thomann.. fancy taking £15 for a set?[/quote]

I got a quote from Thomann at £51.32 for two sets earlier today?

[i]Edit - they also said £29.80 for one box which is why I quoted £28 as the best price I'd seen for a single set.[/i]

[quote name='theosd' post='870921' date='Jun 18 2010, 04:57 PM']Fair enough. On closer inspection it's more like £32 including postage anyway! I'll pass then thanks, sure someone will want them. I'll save for some black beauties![/quote]

You're right, it's the postage that whacks the price up on lower cost orders :)
