Here's a vid of some dude playing Zyex strings. In case unfamiliar, these strings are highly favoured by bluegrass players (eg, Missy Raines and Barry Bales, Alison Kraus' bassist) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8ZG5Uu20dM

Got these today and A/B'd against Velvet Blues on my old boomy German flatback and they are just too dark and bass-y on my bass (it needs slightly brighter strings, especially when amplified). Cost me £138 [url="http://www.soundunlimited.co.uk/products/daddario_zyex_bass_set_34_lgt_-_dz610_34l?gclid=Cj0KEQjw1s-gBRCKwOKQ1sWonvsBEiQA8qALFSO03g_TQUQJKoJGkOTemkoA686k0mlEs95nZ2fTJCsaAhD58P8HAQ"]http://www.soundunli...TJCsaAhD58P8HAQ[/url] and literally no more than one hour of use. £95 posted (yay, another big loss!) For reference these are (to my ears) extremely similar to Evah Pirazzi Weichs

Beautiful. The early ones were (IMHO) more tastefully and carefully relic'd by the custom shop. Wish I had £2k spare

I've had a noodle on this very bass and its one sexy beast. Bump from me!

The seller of the fretless has decided to take this bass in trade. Apologies Pierre

Thanks Pierre. I am waiting to hear back from the BCer selling his fretless to me as he may take it in trade. If I do decide to post you have first dibs but I would rather hand over in person so I'll keep you in touch. For the moment I would prefer a London meet-up but if that changes you will be first to know

Thanks Dave! I'll leave it a few days before thinking about posting - but if it comes to that I may well take you up on your kind offer mate

I bought this super little combo from Bassgear only a couple of months ago and have used it for two small 'coffee shop type' gigs and a practice, as well as home use. Its about as new looking as its possible to get. However, having got my mitts on an ultra-small Crazy8 cab to match with my Acoustic Image head (which has more DB functionality than the PJB) its now surplus to requirements. Comes in a very neat padded shoulder bag which is a joy to bring to gigs. I don't have the packaging so for now its collection/meet-up in London. Would cost you £475-ish new including delivery so I will offer for [s]£390[/s] £370. Given its pretty new, little-used and in amazing condition, thats good value I think Bassgear link here: [url="http://www.bassgear.co.uk/product/bass-cub-bg-100-red/"]http://www.bassgear....cub-bg-100-red/[/url] No trades thanks. I am slimming down my gear

Thanks Cameltoe and Sean! I am going to give first dibs to the guy selling me the fretless as he has indicated he * might * do a straight swap. Will update as-and-when I hear more. Its far from certain though (as it depends on him also selling another bass) so please feel free to drop me a PM if interested

I bought this off the forum some six months ago and its as nice a Precision as I've ever played (with the possible exception of my old - and much more expensive - Pino model). Lightweight (under 9 pounds), very low action (with beautifully worn in LaBella flats) and ultra comfy. Only selling as I liked it so much I tracked down a JV Jazz (super rare with the large Fender logo) and I prefer the slimmer 1.5" nut width with my dodgy left hand. BTW, BC mod Billy Apple liked this JV Precision at an impromptu bass bash so much that he also tracked down a JV Precision in the same livery - it really is super nice. Pics here in original FS thread and its in basically the same condition (few dings and scrapes, nothing in any way major or noticeable from a few feet away and overall great for the age) [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/232750-now-sold-fsft-squire-jv-precision-bass-1983-in-sunburst-l590-ono/page__p__2406920__hl__jv__fromsearch__1#entry2406920"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2406920[/url] Pickup from London the only option at present as I don't have a box. £600 and thats an absolute barg. No case I'm afraid but I could protect it for a meet-up in a crappy soft gigbag No trades thanks as I am buying a fretless with the proceeds (deal already agreed on the fretless, so no offers thanks) Pic from original seller ozzy138 (hope that's OK?) to whet appetite [attachment=171111:post-3130-0-07334900-1395499048.jpg]
