  1. Past hour
  2. Grahambythesea started following Hofner in trouble?
  3. Grahambythesea
    I can’t help thinking that another maker will buy it up for the iconic name if nothing else.
  4. Cat Burrito started following Hofner in trouble?
  5. Cat Burrito
    As a long time user of my long scale Hofner Verythin bass, this is sad
  6. JPJ started following Ouch, or how to turn a double bass accident into an acoustic improvement. Possibly.....
  7. JPJ
    Following with interest. I’m ready to drill if Gary @ Upton Bass concludes it’s a worthwhile upgrade to improve hearing your bass in a live situation.
  8. Hellzero started following My new venue Riff Factory in Stoke and Höfner files for insolvency
  9. Hellzero
    Macca can solve this insolvency within a minute... Maybe he will.
  10. Hellzero
    By the way, nobody mentioned Steve Winwood so far as he is an excellent Hammond player too...
  11. Hellzero
    And loved it so much that I bought his two last live albums. Thanks @Leonard Smalls ! 😊

    A strange cover by the late French weird pop singer Alain Bashung in 1982:
  13. JPJ
    From memory, they are 8 ohms, but let me check tomorrow when I get home.
  14. Killerfridge
    100%, really happy to see this in the update, was starting to fear they weren't going to do it! The speed and rate of these updates has really got me craving one
  15. Hellzero
    And 1 more, guys. 👍🏻
  16. Bass Novice started following My new venue Riff Factory in Stoke
  17. Bass Novice
    Looks great, and your tuck shop is cheap!
  18. Mickeyboro started following Fairport Convention/Dave Pegg CD bundle (folk-rock content)
  19. Mickeyboro
    Dave Pegg - The Cocktail Cowboy Goes It Alone Solo album from Fairport/Jethro Tull bassist, still sealed and unplayed. Fairport Convention - Gladys Leap Mid 80s comeback album from Fairport, including a Pegg-led instrumental medley plus the classic The Hiring Fair. Played once, remastered sound is notable! Just reissued by Talking Elephant. Yours as a package deal, £10 plus postage (£2).

    Piss-poor... Who decided that would be alright before applying some glue?

    I've always thought that the Sunday afternoon / teatime gigs made a lot of sense, even before I reached a 'certain age'! I remember doing a few places back in the 80s, playing to bikers on a Sunday teatime, and it always made sense, then as it does now. A punter can go out and have a few beers, see a band and still get to bed home at a reasonable time to get up for work on Monday morning. From a muso's point of view, a two hour drive home at eight o'clock is better than driving home at midnight, especially for semi-pros who have work the next morning.
  22. BassApprentice started following What are you listening to right now? and Unusual Christmas Songs please :-)
  23. BassApprentice
    Anything from the Merry Axemas albums. Bit of a nostalgia when I was discovering bass and liked a bit of slap and shred guitars.
  24. BassApprentice
    This has been stuck in my head for the past 3 days. Would absolutely love to be in a band like this.
  25. Chienmortbb
    Set the truss rod and lowered the action a bit. Really plays well now, and I agree about the strings. Father Christmas is bringing me a set of Newtone Shorties.

    The Paisley Jazz Bass is going to Rob Harris (guitarist from Jamiroquai) in the first week after New Year.
  27. Today
  28. Chienmortbb
    That may explain why so many seem to be interested more in the bass drum than anything else. Of course, the PA will be set up in an empty room, but the sound tech should have enough about themselves to realise that they need to boost the mids and do it before the concert starts.
  29. Bilbo
    As simple as it gets, the tune is a one chorus melody rendering of 'My Foolish Heart' from the 1992 Victor Goines album, 'Genesis'. The bass player is Christopher Thomas who plays it as straight as they come. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/my-foolish-heart-victor-goines/
  30. BlueMoon
    Not sure who makes these new ones, but I had a Blade Tetra that was a great bass. I think they were made for Levinson in Japan by Tune Maniac.
  31. Nickthebass
    Any interest in a trade?
  32. jezzaboy
    I nearly bought a s/hand one in a shop years back but it weighed as much as a small planet. I know the old ones were well thought of.

    Musicman Sterling 4H Bass USA & Original Case Lovely example of the earlier Sterling model (not to be confused with the Sterling imports from the East) I picked up in a trade on here this year. Made in the US in 2000 it has a recessed neck plate, three band EQ and slimmer body and neck. This is a rarer version with a black sparkle finish and matching headstock. It comes with original pearloid scratch-plate and a plain black laminated one. It weighs 3.9kgs so a nice lightweight example of this bass. Lovely balance and set up. It’s very easy to play and currently strung with D’Addario 40-100 nickel roundwounds. No issues other than a couple of hard to see dings. Great bass, only selling as it is rarely used since I prefer maple boards. Pickup preferred but I can post in the UK at buyer’s cost. I’ve reduced the price so no offers. No trades other than possible p ex on a Ric 4003.
