  1. I’d say a good price for lightly used Spiros here. 3/4 set, medium tension. Bumpety bump.
  2. I think you may have put an extra zero in the price beastie. It’s a great ply but 13k may be a little on the steep side...😉
  3. Now only for sale as I’ve bought the guts I needed. £85 posted for a 1 month old set of Spiros is pretty sweet.
  4. SALE £85 posted. Thomastik Spirocore Mittel (red silks) set ref number 3885 (for 3/4 size basses). This has had one month of use only so it has around 100 years of life left. As with every modern Spiro set, the upper silk of the D string strips off when you feed it in and out of the winder, see photo. This is totally normal unfortunately and the string is not damaged. I don’t have the original packaging but I’ll wrap them up safely. £85 UK posted. Thank you very much.
  5. Sad times. These would have sold in 20 seconds a few years ago. Now I had to stick them on eBay as no interest whatsoever. They are still available at the moment so do please message me if you are keen. Thanks
  6. Brand new set, never opened I don’t need it. This is the legendary S42 set, which is traditionally used on 3/4 basses to get the quintessential Spiro feel. Thomann sells it for £141 + postage, so there’s a bit of savings to be made. Thank you.
  7. Spiro medium is what I have played for the last few years. My action is fairly high compared to modern standards and yet I find them easy to play and they give me all the tone I wanted. I played light gauge years ago and frankly I liked them too, just not as beefy on my bass. On your big German bass the mediums should sound immense. And with you having played for years, I don’t think tension should be a bother at all. All the very best.
  8. This is one awesome piece of kit and it’s really brand new. For busking and acoustic performances it is really the very top of the range. Comes with padded bag and suddenly you are a portable drummer who sounds as good as the one with the big kit! this was imported from the US just a month ago and used once: it’s brand new basically. I just need the money! heres a link https://www.footdrums.com/product/18-stompdrum/#configuration
  9. Brand new in its box and never opened; allegedly brilliant valve Preamp: I just don’t need it. Postage included in price. heres a link
  10. Haha yes that made me very happy, but are you just buttering me up so I buy yet another set of broken in Spiros?
  11. I’m no calligraphy expert but as Clarky says, irrespective of pedigeee and age of manufacturing, you get a gently broken in of Spiros for a decent price. In terms of longevity and strength I’m pretty sure a couple of sets of Spiros would be all you need for a suspension bridge on a motorway. And the sound, well, Ray Brown: say no more. I’m tempted myself Clarky!
  12. Ah, my much loved Preamp, only a year old, is no longer needed by me and there is so much I can do with the money that I must pass it on... This is a wonderful professional tool for the acoustic musician, just an absolute game changer! You can blend a microphone with a pickup, get true +48v phantom, eq, fight feedback once and for all, add optical compression, include fantastic analog reverbs and delays, programme effects, have USB connectivity, send signals to front of house and amp simultaneously, as well as headphones. There are surely many other functions that I have not listed here I have used it very successfully on double bass for only 6-7 theatre gigs so it’s completely mint. Please message if you wish to discuss.
  13. Unbelievable quality double bass mic. The best out there now. Practically new: used twice in studio. This is the red version, for studio use and live use, but not in a noisy band. i start this at a very low price, so there is not much room for manoeuvre here. RRP 748 euros!
  14. PS - I have a red version available too: the 5400 (non LB which means live bass). Both are equally minty and spare, but I realise I don’t need them, so both up for sale. I may do a separate listing for the red version as soon as I can.
  15. Price down to £400 because it’s Easter
  16. Thank you very much; make me an offer if you feel like it. It’s a great piece of kit, as you know.
  17. I got GAS for something I’ve seen... would be a good time to make me an offer I’d say. Have a lovely day anyway.
  18. Part exchange for nice guitar effects.
  19. Indeed so sorry to hear you have been unwell but so glad you are back swinging! + 1 for the realist lifeline, like Tom says above (or if you are feeling flush I’m selling a Remic 5400db)
  20. Great mic for studio or live at a very interesting price. 2 Hours Use, practically as new.
  21. £400 or near offer This REMIC 5400lb (lb stands for Live bass) is quite simply the best microphone available for live applications. As such, it costs €748! (Including VAT). i have used mine on a bunch of theatre or small clubs gigs. Very civilised gigs so it’s reallynloke new. It has performed wonderfully well in them all. currently I’m blending the normal Remic microphone 5400 and a pickup so this one is sitting unused. Feedback suppression is really really good with this. I have done a gig with a loud acoustic band in a club with zero problems and a great tone. According to REMIC, the 5400lb is even suited to extreme live applications, but I’ve never tried that. requires +48v phantom
  22. Hey, wow a year! Yes I am indeed still pleased. This year it's been in various places and performed equally well. it has done old village halls, pubs, a couple of theatres (old and new), a couple of festival tents and a mini tour in Canada where I had to remember to switch voltage! All with the remic 5400LB and all very much troublefree. Frankly I didn’t have to mess much with the dials in hardly any of the venues. I am starting now to play a bit with the inbuilt effects and I’m liking them. I have not blended the signal with the channel for piezo Pickups, but again I’m starting to toy with that idea if I’m going to be using more effects, in order to get even more feedback rejection tools. Great bit of kit though! Thank you for reminding me about this. Any question let me know and I’ll try to help.
