    Good evening - I've an NS WAV4 upright electric that I'm now learing to play with a bow (although I mainly play pizzicato) - but when I've finished playing there is a lot of the white powdered rosin left on the strings. What's the best thing to clean it off please? Meths? White spirit? Water & a bit of washing up liquid? I'm concerned that if I use the wrong thing it will a) Not clean it off properly & It may make the core of the strings rot/rust - I'm using the NS steel tape flatwounds that were supplied. Whilst I'm asking - would there be a "Better" string type to use? (The WAV4 uses a piezo electric pickup so there is no need for magnetic considerations for the strings.) Thanks for any help you can give, Geoff

    Hi - I see you say no trades, but I Pm'd you anyway. See what you think.

    Here is my great Yamaha RBX374 bass guitar with active electronics. I'm looking for £150, plus postage, or may trade against a bass amp. head, or an Epiphone Dot or "Jazz" style semi acoustic guitar. It’s finished in gloss black, with a satin finish in black on the back of the neck & headstock. The fittings are all in “Black Chrome” which looks really great- It also comes with a basic black canvas gig bag. The bass has active tone controls, so there is an overall volume, a treble cut/boost, a bass cut/boost, and a mix control so you can go from one pickup to another or have a mix of different proportions of both pickups. The fingerboard is rosewood and it has a 34” scale length. The bass balances really well when you’re playing it as the long upper horn keeps it from being neck heavy when you use a shoulder strap. The pickups are humbuckers, so there is no buzzing or humming even when you are on top of an amplifier with its volume right up – really good on stage! The active electronics mean that you also get a very even string balance across all the strings – with a passive bass, you tend to get a very loud low E string, getting quieter as you go up to the G. Here’s a link to the Yamaha site:- [url="http://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical-instruments/guitars-basses/el-basses/rbx/rbx374/?mode=model"]http://usa.yamaha.co...374/?mode=model[/url] - and here’s one for Chappells music – a good large picture on this as if you click on it, as well as a typical price new. [url="http://www.chappellofbondstreet.co.uk/P~YAM-RBX374-BLK~Yamaha-RBX374-4-String-Electric-Bass-Guitar-in-Black?attributes"]http://www.chappello...lack?attributes[/url]= It’s in great condition with only a few marks on it from being played – there is a tiny mark on the front - less than the size of a match head - it’s hard to see but I’ve tried to show it in the photo of the lower front of the body. I’m in Morecambe so if you're local & want to come over to try it please let me know so that can arrange for you to call. I'm happy to pack the bass & send it off - or you could call, pay cash & save the postage charges which are getting more and more expensive, or I will come out to meet you within a reasonable distance.
