I just received the Clef Hi Tec tail gut and it's great. Thanks for the prompt service and a quality product.

If you need to replace your tailpiece gut, this is the product for you. I recently puchased a 30 yearl old German 1/4 size bass to use as a more ear friendly alternative to a EUB for gigs. No pearl, this instrument was most likely a student instrument and looks as such. Beyond the collection of body cracks, I was horrified to find that the gut had been replaced with what like like a piece of solid galvanized bailing wire which was about to rip the endpin out. A few clicks at uptonbass.com and I have one of their Clef guts in my hand in a day or two. Basically a high tech piece of cordage, the description on the site is right on, IF YOU CAN TIE YOUR SHOES YOU CAN INSTALL THIS GUT. Granted, I am trained as a luthier, though mostly fretted instruments, but if you can follow directions on knot tying and have the ability make a string the right length you can do this. Easy install, no stretch, just a good all around product. Recomended.
