    For sale Aquila Gold Springs Classic (Gut G & D) Upright Bass Strings like new

    I decided to try gut strings again and, within a couple of hours, remembered (once again) that I'm not a gut string player. My loss is your gain. Bought these from Mark Gollihur on Sept 28, put them on carefully (properly cut bridge, no kinks, like new condition), and took them off the next...

    Double Bass Aquila Strings on a 39' Bass

    Hi guys, Anyone has any experience with Aquila Gold Springs (gut or synthetic) on a 39 inch (scale) bass? I have spirocores on which feel great, but I miss the gut sound. Not sure if there is any gut or gut-a-like string that works with a smaller bass. I think gut strings prefer a 40-41 inch...

    N(ish)UBD

    Hadean fretless bass ukulele. Got it sent to me used by someone on the forum about a week or two ago. It works pretty well. Nice Aquila Thunderblack strings on it. I think it's a walnut body. The action was a little high and I need to sand down the edges of the fingerboard. Also I removed the...

    Possible solution to Ubass sticky strings

    Hi all, I wanted to make this as I haven't read any posts about my particular solution to the sticky string issue that Ubasses often have. Apart from Aquila's suggestion of baby powder, and another person's suggestion of Olive oil, I figured both solutions would be quite messy and ruin satin...

    Uke bass strings suck

    My solid body Rondo special came with Aquila Thunderblacks. The E and A strings are a little sticky feeling and there is a scratchy attack on every string that kind of drives me nuts. I can minimize it if I dial out the highs and hit the string just right, but then it kind of looses some of the...

    NBD Ubass with TORT!

    Just got back from a trip to Kauai where my wife helped me pay for this wonderful little Islander Pako FM (by Kanelea) Bass Ukulele. I've never been a fan of tort pickguards on basses, but for the binding on this instrument, it really looks great!. And, it's fun to play as well. This is a well...
