I've got a 3U EMS case that you can borrow.

Thanks for the comments. Not sure about offering as a raffle prize but I'll happily give them in return for a donation to BC or the SE Bash Charity. I'll take them with me to the Bash next weekend

Over the past years I seem to have changed string quite quite often in an attempt to find which does it for me. Rotosound to DR Sunbeams to DR Lo-Riders, etc. As a result I have discovered that I have a large collection of strings, some of which have hardly been used and which are taking up space. They are now sorted and packaged however they hardly worth selling. What should I do with them? Recycle? Anybody want any?

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1473876682' post='3133817'] Yes, but if the tuning heads have small spindles aren't they small for the full width of the 100 string? I guess that's down to trial and error. [/quote] I work out the length to take the string just beyond the nut and then put on about a cm of heatshrink. sleeving. Cut the string to the required length and then unwind the outer layers back to the heatshrink then it's only the inner core that goes around the tuner. Next job is to find some better tuners.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1473876177' post='3133807'] Piccolo strings? [/quote] They appear to be small gauge, full length and are tuned up an octave. The ones I've cut down are 40-100 and tuned normally.

Here is the Westfield alongside a normal 34" scale bass. It is almost impossible to find strings to fit so |I have had to cut down a used set of Rotosound Flats to fit.

A couple of years ago I bought a Westfield Mini Precision, 25" scale, with the intention of giving it to one of my Grandchildren but they have showed no interest so I keep it in my workshop for the occasional noodle. It would be ideal for a youngster.
