I know I have said it before but I honestly think I have finally found my string nirvana (Spiro Weich EA and gut DG) Hence am moving on this lovely set of strings which is very nearly as nice as the aforementioned Its a combination of Garbo Light EAD and a Garbo Gut G. All are in very good condition with no breaks/kinks/unwinding - the Lights are probably 2 months old and the Gut G is just 2 weeks old New would cost you well over £200 at Thomann or Bassico when in stock (eg, Thomann is charging £227 plus post for a Garbo Light set). I will sell for £140 posted and consider that an absolute bargain given the quality and condition. So roll up for a very low tension, gut sounding and feeling set

Will listen to near offers in order to move this 51 year-old piece of history on (the bass probably thinks the same of me)

And replied:)

KK are very high quality copies of the Ampeg Baby Bass from the 1960s and this is a nice discount from new price and means no waiting time. Customer service from Kris Kedzior (the West London-based manufacturer) is excellent too. Someone grab this quick (I already have an Ampeg BB before you ask why I don't just snaffle it myself .... )

£27 to you door bump, saving you £13 for the tiniest amount of use

Price drop (having checked out similar listings) to £65 posted

This is what a Senator sounds like (there is also a video on the previous FS thread) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoVoLDjoNog

I bought this only a few weeks ago from BCer guybrush threepwood (aka Craig) who had previously bought it from BC's Owen. After the initial burst of enthusiasm I very quickly discovered that I simply do not enjoy playing short scale basses with medium/high action, however beautiful and retro they may look. It sounds lovely and thumpy but I just don't like the experience of playing it compared with my Jazz bass. Best pics and description are on the previous FS thread and here's a tasty pic Craig took (hope thats OK, Craig?)

Also happy to hand over in London. I would also consider p/x against a US or Japan Fender Precision in sunburst/rosewood neck or oly white/rosewood or maple neck (no other trade offers and no MIM Fenders thanks, sorry but I am a gear snob!)

I have a spare Shadow SH950 dual wing piezo pickup that isn't being used. Its in excellent condition Looks just like this [url="http://www.thestringzone.co.uk/shadow-sh950-double-bass-pickup"]http://www.thestring...ble-bass-pickup[/url] £70 posted in UK

lovely bass and great playing too! GLWTS

Hi Gareth, TBH I think these will feel fairly similar to you to the Rotos (but smaller gauge). In my experience, all black nylons feel plasticky to begin with and mellow with age. The exception is Pyramid Black Nylons which have a sort of textured, almost cloth like surface. I am guessing these wouldn't be your cup of tea!

Now £27 posted These really look very close to new (almost perfect silks etc) and probably only have a couple of hours play on them

Rabbie, this guy contacted me about my Gut-a-like Deluxes, wanting second dibs. Maybe drop him a PM (assuming he didn't then buy your Cordes Lamberts string set on the rebound!) http://basschat.co.uk/user/8757-fenderjazz1/

Had them on my fretless bass for a week and decided I preferred ordinary La Bella flats. Home use only. Consequently in very good, nearly as-new condition. New cost me £40 from BassDirect including post. How's about 25% off, so £30 posted within UK? PS, its the larger diameter 760N set, which is 60/70/94/115 [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/LaBella_Nylon_wound.html"]http://www.bassdirec...ylon_wound.html[/url]
