    Double Bass Best electric tuner for an upright bass

    I agree BUT sometimes I'm in a club where they're playing loud music through a sound system. Then, of course you can usually tune to that music but when it's what I call really loud then I find I can't hear myself well enough.

    SOLD Gamut Pistoy D string

    Hi John, I think I bought a string from you before. Did I? Anyway I would like to buy one of your Pistoy D strings and get you to post it to me in Australia if that's okay. What guage are the two strings? If they are different then I'd prefer the lighter guage one.
