How does the bow feel on these? Closer to raw gut - copper wound - or nylon wound?

Love these strings. But what do I do to take care of them?? Rubbing alcohol probably a big no due to the gut core, so should I still use oil like on plain gut? something else? Top two are nylon wrapped, bottom two are copper. Let me know what you've had success with! I've noticed they have gone...

It has not been traded and is still available, if that's what you're asking! Not so interested in trades unfortunately.

Passive!

Hi everyone! Selling my 2001 4-string fretted Warwick Corvette. Beautiful instrument that plays great, however I'm switching to a P-Bass so this has gotta go. It's in good cosmetic condition, but has a few dings on the front body and top of the headstock. The pickups are original and so the logo...

Heavy+ gauge. Bought on TB and were on my bass for about two weeks, before that can't say since I can't find the original thread. Selling them slightly cheaper then what I paid. Look to be in good shape, G is a bit hairy but should have plenty of life.

Here's another great video that I've been trying to find for awhile!!

Wow, some great resources, thanks all for sharing! It's amazing how these soloists are able to render that "scratchiness" I typically associate with bowed gut into such an articulate, bright sound. Beautiful!

Hi everyone!! Has this been discussed on here at all? Didn't find much in the search. Basically, I'm wondering where I can hear classical music played on gut strings, solo, chamber or orchestral. I know the old Koussevitzky recordings are on gut, and I'm sure some early orchestral recordings are...

Hey Dutch - I love the sound of that copper wrapped A but am dealing with a buzzing issue that is quite frustrating. Seems to be related to humidity but it's only been a couple days. Re pirastro slaps I have not tried those! These gamuts are the first guts I've had. Before them, I was a Jargar...

Plain gamut D and G, copper wrapped gamut A, Jargar medium E !

Recently made the change to guts (old German bass) - the thing I was most shocked by was the difference in resonance and sustain in the upper register. My bass is really beginning to sing when pizzing up there. A few days ago I swapped out the wrapped gut A for a regular steel (Jargar), and all...

Hey folks! Selling this microphone- have owned for a couple years but rarely use it. Doesn't make sense to have such a nice piece of gear just lying around. Here's the original thread in case you're interested- SOLD - AMT S25B-Price Drop (note- I have tried to get the preamp to work with just...
