Details

I'm looking to trade for either a set or a single long E.

I currently have a set of Bel Cantos with a long E on my bass...I need something brighter/a bit more pizzy/preferably something thinner with less tension too. I don't want full blown pizz strings---I just want something that cuts a bit better when played pizz. My bass is pretty dark so brighter is big plus. I really liked the Corelli 370M's I had on my old bass. The set has been on a bass in a shop for awhile but I don't think they've been used too much...honestly don't know the details.

I would really like to trade with someone who is willing to let me get the new E/set in before I ship so I won't be without strings.

I would be willing to buy a single E if someone would rather trade money. I would also be willing to trade my Yita bow found here.

I use a Spiro 3885.5W E string on my bass with Bel ADG for the same reason, and it balances very well in tension and tone (and ball end silk color).

T-I makes a C extension version of the same string (from the T-I website):
3885,6W C1 Do1 V Chromumspinnung 30,0 66,1

No, it's not a trade, and you probably won't find this string used to trade, but it's a thought nonetheless, as more than one person has commented how the Bel ADG are great, but the E is lacking.
