    That's the ones that I have on my Chinese Club ... https://www.hofner.com/guitars-basses/guitar-accessories/guitar-strings/hofner-bass-strings-flat-wound.html They are different to the Contemporary series. They are, I believe, made by Pyramid. And I have seen a close up pic of McCartney's Hofner and it appeared to have the dark green silks. https://www.hofner.com/guitars-basses/guitar-accessories/guitar-strings/hofner-bass-strings-nylon.html These black nylons have bright lime green silks. I struggled to get the E string through the tuner and so stuck to the ordinary flatwounds above. However, here in Brighton, I have spoken to a guy busking on a Chinese Hofner with Hofner black nylons, so it can be done and he sounded great.

    I imagine Thomann have a longstanding agreement with Fender which grants them the right to sell Fender products within the EU, of which the UK is no longer a member state.

    Dunlop Short Scale Flatwound Set 40-60-80-100 - £30 posted to UK NOW REDUCED £25 - (£45 at Strings Direct) Bought in error when I needed medium scale and only realised when I opened the packet. 🙄 Brand new unused but in opened packet. Black silk both ends. Ball end to silk = 32"

    Sounded like the Hofner to me too. I hadn't seen it before ... good show.

    What colour are the silks on the 760F-MUS?

    I thnk this is what you're talking about ... Human Perception of String Tension and Compliance in Stringed Musical Instruments

    Straightforward, recommended buyer.
  12. EssentialTension
    In my experience La Bella 760FS is the set with black silk. Although the Strings Direct website says they are blue.

    £20 the pair posted to UK (or £12 posted to UK for one plate only). Both plates fit an American Vintage 62 Reissue (AV62RI) Fender Precision. They may fit other models. I don't know if they are genuine Fender parts. Although they are not mint (in colour or condition) there is nothing wrong with them. 1: Cream/Black/Cream Pearl 3-ply 13-hole - not drilled for tugbar, nor for ashtray, and no trussrod notch. In real life it looks creamier and less white than in the pic. 2: White/Black/White 3-ply 13-hole - and also drilled for tugbar and for ashtray, with a slight trussrod notch.

    Hayman 4040 was the second bass I owned and first longscale, from 1974 to 1976. Now I am back on the short scales too.

    It would be fine.

    Due to downsizing my life, for sale, at £195. I'd call it a bargain! A buyer can collect from Brighton or I will meet anywhere around the southern half of the M25. Here's the TC page with details ... https://www.tcelectronic.com/product.html?modelCode=P0D78 Excellent condition , rehearsal and home use only, never gigged. Fitted with the upgrade Fane Sovereign 8-225 speakers; original speakers included if you want them. Weight with new speakers is, on my scales, 13.9 kilos or 30.6 pounds. Comes with Hotcovers cover with rear pocket. Let's have some pics ...

    £20 posted to the UK. Used and with a few mild scratches and chips but fully operational. No box. Doesn't use a battery and needs a power supply.

    This is the set aimed at Violin and Club basses, so short scale of course. Unused and in original packaging. I believe the gauges are 55.75.95.110.

    ... and sold subject to all the usuals.

    Due to ill health, advancing age, retirement from gigging, and moving house from large three-bed terrace to two-bed apartment ... for sale my 300watt Mesa Walkabout Scout. This is the 4ohm 1x12" model with the blackface control panel. I bought it from GAK Brighton in, I think, 2011 - I will find the receipt. It has done a few gigs but I'd dare to call it in excellent condition, close to mint. I am asking £775ono I am not keen to post as I don't feel equipped to pack it appropriately but I will meet anywhere around the M25, or collection from Brighton is possible. The weight is approximately 51 pounds or 23 kilos. Let's have some pics ...
