    Four sets of short-scale roundwounds

    in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale

    Posted

    I have four sets of short-scale (30" scale, 760mm) roundwounds, bought second-hand a decade ago when I had something which probably fitted them - I never got round to it.

     

    The Rotosounds, the La Bellas and the Newtones appear to be stainless steel.  The Optima Golds are, um, gold?  I don't know what the actual metal is.

     

    They've all been opened; the Rotosounds and the Newtones have never been fitted; the La Bellas have been partly fitted (2 never fitted); the Optima Golds are cut 2+2 and there is some wear to the silks.

     

    I have little idea how to price these so my preference is to sell them as a job lot.
    £75 for the lot, posted, within the UK (outside the UK, let me know but probably there would be tariffs).  
    PayPal without charges (preferred), or bank transfer.

    I took my bass and (very small) combo on the bike (and motorbike) a few times......not the most comfortable experience, particularly with a helmet on....!
    I know trailers have been mentioned, what about one of those kiddie trailers? They generally have large (so more stable) wheels, usually come with a (waterproof) cover/roof, and harness (add some extra foam, strap the combo in...!?!)
    I used one when helping a friend's company set up an event at a Center Parcs (so no cars/vans...), it worked pretty well
    Devil's advocate, two miles isn't THAT far, why not bungee the combo/gear to a sacktruck and walk? (Also done on occasion.....)

     

    Kiddie trailer is the method I've arrived at after the helpful comments above.

    It's not that far indeed.  I'm not in a position to do it at the moment (shoulder issues and recovering from a fairly major op), but by the time I've sorted the bike etc. out it should be OK.  We'll see.

    What sort of bell?

     

    There's a wide gap in sound between what's on a cat's collar and Big Ben.

     

    A church bell or hand bell.  Something a bit less cracked than the Black Sabbath bell, but that sort of bell.

    I've cycled with a bass in a gig bag with backpack straps which was ok. On a standard bike I think a practice amp might be challenging. You might be able to bungee it on to a pannier rack but you'd need to check the rack will take the weight. Having that much weight out back can really mess with the handling as well.

     

    Cargo bike time? 😉

    This is what I was wondering.  Thanks :)

    Can anyone suggest an effect which would simulate a bell?  Does it need a synth and/or sample, or is there something I could buy off the shelf?

    Thanks :)
