I can vouch for smaz. Very friendly comms and unquestioningly paid upfront for the Fender A/E fretless I am handing over to him tomorrow. Looks a great deal!

Piezo-friendly DI for double bass (and other acoustic instruments). Selling as I've not actually had cause to use it yet as I prefer a DI with EQ options (eg PlatPro). About £75 new and so i will sell it, in completely unused, mint condition for £60 posted Specs here at Thomann [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/radial_engineering_sb_4.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...eering_sb_4.htm[/url] This was discussed in a thread wot I started and Happy Jack reported back very positively with his StageBug SB-4 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/209910-looks-a-useful-new-tool-for-the-db-players-gigbag/page__p__2136488__hl__useful__fromsearch__1#entry2136488"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2136488[/url]

Selling a set of Danny Thompson 3/4 Elitist strings which are a chunky £145 new [url="http://www.basscentre.com/elites-strings/elites-danny-thompson-double-bass-strings.html"]http://www.basscentr...ss-strings.html[/url] These are in OK but not pristine condition (the silks seem very fragile and are slightly frayed but not badly so) but have had barely any playing time. I got them from Greg Cordez who owned them only briefly and I had them on my bass for a few weeks only before going back to growlier Spiro Mittels.[b] £[s]80[/s] 75 posted.[/b] [b]* PRICE CUT TO £70 POSTED AS I HAVE TOO MANY STRINGS SITTING AROUND![/b]

I just bought a set of Pyramid flats for my Jazz bass, put them on and immediately removed as I prefer the softer feel of Lakland Jo Osborn flats. They've been on my bass for a matter of a couple of hours and are 100% as-new, bar me clipping the very long E/A string silk ends slightly for a Fender 4-a-side headstock. These work out at £29 plus post from Thomann, taking it to over £30 to buy (they are £44 at Stringbusters!). So how about £25* posted, a 25%+ saving for a couple of hours use? For those unfamiliar, these are very retro sounding flats (as used by Jefferson Airplane at end-60s etc) and are ideal for blues, reggae and old school Motown. They do not do bright and zingy!

The price is £25 for avoidance of doubt, including UK post

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1378634040' post='2202542'] Hurrah :-) [/quote] Indeed. These are truly wonderful basses but fall into the 'special interest' category. The buyer has played another BCer's A/E fretless and enjoyed it muchly so all ends well

Yep, easier on the hands as less pressure when plucking. Downside is looser strings mean slightly higher action

Bump from sunny Copenhagen!

These strings are the most highly recommended on TalkBass for Baby Bass electric upright basses. So I would guess they work well for most EUBs. Very low tension but with the trademark Spirocore growl. I just preferred the Jargar soft strings that were already on the bass which I have used for a couple of years gigging on and off (I sold the bass in between times then bought it back!)
