PRICES REDUCED!

 

Hi Folks,

 

I've been experimenting a fair amount with trying to find the right strings for me over the years and I need to have a bit of a clear out to get rid of the things that I don't see myself going back to. Some of these packs are new, some are used, some are incomplete so please have a decent read of the details and fire over any questions you may have! Prices at the bottom and I'm open to offers.

 

DR Lo-Rider Stainless Steel 5 String Set 45-130 MISSING G STRING - Only 4 out of 5 strings present here I'm afraid. On the upside, these are brand new, never used but have been cut to the length of a Fender Precision with in-line tuners + plenty of spare winding. G STRING IS MISSING. Packaging is ruined.

 

Unknown Electric Bass 4 String Set - Taken off a second hand bass I bought last Summer. Unknown brand and gauge but they have a light orange wrap to them and they are clearly a 4 string set. I think the previous owner usually runs 40-100 gauge but I can't be sure.

 

Thomastik Dominant Orchestral Tuning (I believe the 'medium's) - I've tried to find the email where I ordered these to check what tension/gauge they are but I think it may have gone through an old email account. Bought new by me, fit professionally by the luthiers at Bristol Violin shop, used for 3 or 4 years (I don't play a huge amount of upright gigs though), taken off by the same professionals when I moved over to gut strings. No original packaging.

 

DR Lo-Rider Stainless Steel 5 String Set 45-130 MISSING G STRING - £24 all-in, packaged and posted

Unknown Electric Bass 4 String Set - £9 all-in, packaged and posted

Thomastik Dominant Orchestral Tuning (I believe the 'medium's) - £90 all-in, packaged and posted

 

Cheers for having a look!

Would the upright strings suit playing arco?

I think the world of arco playing is very broad and there are all kinds of different sounds that people chase with the bow and I'd say that these do take the bow pretty well. That said, I'm not from a classical background so I would do some research to see if they are a good fit for what you're after. 

 

There is an audio example of arco playing on a similar Dominant set on this website:
