This is a true one-off. It’s so boutique, I called it ultra boutique! Yes, I’m getting carried away... Yet, it is true that it is a completely hand made gut string, by one person in Italy. I really fancied trying this. Unfortunately, because of Covid, its delivery took so long that by that time I had decided to sell the bass it was destined for (see Miller 2006 bass for sale here). Hence, I don’t need the string. I have never even taken it out of the little paper it comes in, so I do not know how it sounds, but the twisting shows it is a true quality item. Hence it may be a great find for the lover of true gut sound on the G string. I prefer to sell it privately then to return it to the maker, because it was not his fault that the delay occurred and small business deserve to be supported, especially in places where Covid hit hardest (but independent musicians need money too, hence the sale!). price includes postage.

I have had enquires this week, but nobody has committed. I’m quite sure that if anyone came to see and play this bass, at this price, they’d take it home. And now, lockdown has eased, I have a good area to try the bass at social distance and I’m keeping my fingers crossed. i can drive down and meet somewhere nearer the border if you are thinking g of coming up from a long way south.

SOLD Pirastro Perpetual A and E strings £50

I’m having a little bump of this just to say the price is really low for a bass hand carved in England, and as such an investment as well as a great playing instrument. From the information I have, the maker Mr Ken Miller put all his passion and knowledge into bass making having already a career as a player so, he was a man who knew how a bass should play and sound. It is unusual for me to want to sell an instrument with a strong human history and personality, but I have my name down for something which has a human history closer to home and is going to be more useful to me... Hence, and since I am very aware of the hard times, I am happy to negotiate with a buyer who can give this unique instrument a worthwhile home.... if I come into any money, this is going to come off the market for sure, but there is a very small chance of this...

Price cut again to £50 total Pirastro Perpetual E (3 months use) and A (couple of weeks use at the most). Very flexible and responsive strings. I personally went back to Spiro but the rest of the world seems to like the Perpetual better. These 2 would set you back £110-120 new. The E string’s green silk at the top is a little unravelled at the tip. That’s only the tip of the silk, nothing to do with the string. I have never trimmed it or cut it of course. thank you very much for looking

I have a load of gut strings to sell, they are all awesome! SOLD - 1 x Pirastro Chorda G (4 months use) (normal markings at Pegbox when when taking string off). £50 SOLD - 1 x Pirastro Chorda D (4 months use) (quite severe fraying at Pegbox end here as my bass had a tight pegbox at the D end. Of course I am pretty sure this does not harm the string longevity, but I priced it very low as a result) £50. Sold - 1 x Dlugolecki G (6 months use) £50 wonderful boutique guts! Sold - 1 x Dlugolecki D (6 months use) £70. SOLD 1 x Lenzner G (2 months use) £35 (these are entry-level guts in my opinion hence the lower price despite being nearly new). SOLD - 1 x GOLDEN SPIRAL D (gut nylon wrapped. Yes!! I have put this in capitals because it IS the quintessential Charlie Haden string. Now long discontinued BRAND NEW and never fitted £90. - SOLD Sold - 1 x Pirastro Olive A (wrapped gut 1- old stock, back when they were called “Eudoxa Oliv” but only 1 month use) £60 Sold - 1 x Pirastro Eudoxa A (new old stock, never fitted) £80. prices are low but the items are genuine, see photos. £5 UK postage and please message me if you have any query. thank you very much and stay safe and well!
