As far as I know, there's only one set of these available from Thomastik. Gauges in the picture...

Bought these from the marketplace here, they're nicely worn in - bright with the tone fully open, warmer with tone down. I'm not a fan of roundwounds, so here they are. Don't know the gauge, or composition, sorry. I think they're nickel... Price includes postage. Cheers.

I absolutely love Thomastik rounds, got these 2nd hand here. Supple, smooth and very toneful. They're listed as medium scale, but fit 30" very happily. Unfortunately, the E string is noticeably duller than the others. If you can cope with that, these might be just the thing for you (!). Price includes postage. Cheers.

Know hardly anything about these strings, can't remember where they came from (on a bass, separately, in a lucky dip?), or the gauge, just that being D'Addario, they are very good! Price includes postage. Cheers.

More mystery; I know they're D'Addario, but that's it. Can't remember how I came by them, but I'm not a fan of roundwounds, unless they're Thomastiks, so here they are for sale. Not heavily used. They've been on a 2 a side bass, but judging from the winds on the G, I think they were cut for 4 inline. Price includes postage. Cheers.

I'm a huge fan of Thomastik strings, rounds and flats. Low tension, so supple, and great tone. I'm not sure how I've accumulated so many sets, but the descriptions below might shed some light: 1. Single B string, in great shape. £15, but can combine it with one of the other sets. 2. 4 string set, cut 4 inline, BUT with a busted G strings (cue sniggers). The G seems to be a weak point with these rounds, as it's happened to me more than once. Not whilst playing, but when putting on different basses. The string retainer on a Fender style headstock seems to wear/expose the core... £20 posted. (Also, the A has an exposed core) 3. Same as above - 4 string, 4 inline, but another busted G! £20 posted. 4. Another 'slight seconds' - this time the G is just shorter. Cut for 4 inline, the G has some silk on it, but would only reach a 2 a side G tuner. £25 posted. I'll number the pics, which should help. Cheers.

1 mystery set of short scale flats: black silks at ball end, light blue at t'other. They play nicely, but I prefer lower tension. Maruszcyck flats, very smooth indeed, but fairly stiff, so not for me. Don't know the history of either set, I've played them on and off, but more off than on. Tons of life in both sets. Price includes postage. Cheers.

Bought these from the marketplace here, as a trial. Decent tone, but too stiff for me (TI weakling). Cut 4 online. Don't know which version they are, or the gauge, sorry. Price includes postage. Cheers.

These came with my Epiphone Jack Casady fretless, so I don't know which 'group' they are, or the gauge. I was pleasantly surprised by them, as I'm a Thomastik flats snob; these sound good, and reasonably supple. 34" scale, cut for 2 a side, played for only a couple of days. Price includes postage. Cheers.

Excellent strings, but sold the bass they were destined for. Played for maybe a couple of days? Descriptions in the photo. Medium scale, but fitted short scale very happily. Price includes postage. Cheers.

These came with a new bass, played them for a couple of days, but the bass needs flats, so these are for sale. Cut for 2 a side. Info in the photo. Price includes postage. Cheers.

Thanks Marc, I think so too...

The time has come to sell this wonderful instrument. I love almost everything about it, but the posture required, sitting and standing, is causing me pain, and I've not been able to get around that. As per the title, it's a BSX Allegro 4 string in tobacco burst. If you're interested, you'll likely know all about them (their website is old fashioned but informative). It has an acoustic chamber, with f-holes, and the unplugged volume is just right for quiet practice. The preamp is very good indeed. Bartolini, 3 band, developed specifically for this instrument. Easy to produce a very natural sounding warm tone. The bridge is fixed, but the neck is adjustable! Really simple and quick to alter the action (one screw to hand turn) Condition is good. It has some scuffs to the headstock, the top bout (where the neck meets the body) has a 'milky' sheen to it. Sunlight fading? Not sure, but it's cosmetic only. The picture shows a line that looks like a crack, but absolutely isn't. It's just where two timbers meet).Some very minor marks here and there, but all round good nick. The rubber endstop is worn through, it's the metal endstop that contacts the floor. Strings: the A,D, and G strings are Spirocore Weichs, can't remember what the E is, but it's nearly as good as the Spirocores, which are just wonderful, hugely expressive. I've put dots on the side of the neck, as you can see (but nobody else) There is a BSX bag that comes with it. Good for carrying, but doesn't offer too much protection. Also a cheap French bow. I won't post this, but happy to host potential buyers, also happy to travel halfway to meet, depending on where... Thanks for reading. Happy to fill in any missing info on request... Pics:
