I really like these strings on my 3/4 DB and bought a set to try on my Kolstein Busetto travel bass. They were on the bass for a couple of weeks only and only had a few hours home use, basically they are in 99% condition. Reason for selling? Barrie Kolstein sent me a new set of Kolstein Heritage strings for my bass as a gesture since the ones that were on the bass when I bought it had a fault. Well the Heritage strings suit the bass better than the deeper/darker sounding Blues and so I am moving the latter on. These are £130-odd from Thomann so £85 posted is a barg - they look immaculate (none of the common tarnishing of the copper windings you get on used Velvet strings) and are very, very lightly used indeed Thomann link: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/velvet_blue_doublebass_strings.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...ass_strings.htm[/url]

Sold pending usual That was quick!

I bought this Shadow twin-wing (Underwood-alike) pickup from BC'er Harry a week or two back but it doesn't fit the very narrow bridge wing slots on my Kolstein travel bass and - given the Kolstein has a special downsized bridge - I am reluctant to sand the wing slots wider. Hence I am putting it straight back up for sale. Needless to say I didn't actually use it and Harry had used it very little so its in vgc £65 posted, exactly what I paid Specs here: [url="http://www.contrabass.co.uk/sh_950_pickup.htm"]http://www.contrabas..._950_pickup.htm[/url] Stock pic: [attachment=156605:777px-Przetwornik_do_kontrabasu_SH-950_firmy_Shadow.jpg]
