While working in a music store in the early 70's (Sound Centre Cardiff 71 to 75) Hofner Galaxy basses and Verthin basses did not attract the same attention as the “Beatle Bass”. The Verthin was a fine instrument with a good range of tones, light and comfortable to play. Gibson and Fender dominated the market, while Hofners had low resale value. At the time my own bass guitar route was Hagstrom Futurama to Fender Musicmaster to Gibson EB3. It’s ironic how those basses which did not receive too much love at the time are now commanding prices from £750 upwards. Last year I purchased a Hofner Shorty for lounge noodling and “leave-in-the-car” backup. With an old set of La Bella Deep talking flat wounds the Shorty has a lovely range of tones from warm & woody to typical Hofner “Beatle Bass” thump. Happy days !!

Shipping information Germany €45, EU €125, UK 175€ Item location 56281, Karbach, Germany Price 3750€ / 3300£ I'm selling this superb Pedulla MVP-4 Signature Bass with its original hardshell case. This cool bass was meticulously handcrafted in the USA in 1989 by master guitar maker Michael Pedulla. The bass is completely original and features custom Bartolini pickups paired with a Bartolini preamp. The bass's unique and elegant body shape provides excellent balance whether you're playing sitting or standing. At only 3.95 kg (7 lbs), the bass is very lightweight, allowing you to play comfortably even during long gigs without needing a chiropractor the next day. The sale includes the original Pedulla hardshell case. Please note that unlike newer Pedulla models, this one does not require any special tools for adjusting the truss rod. The truss rod can be adjusted with a simple flathead screwdriver. As many of you already know, Michael has retired, so Pedulla basses are no longer in production. This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of these incredible instruments while it's still possible. Although this bass is 36 years old, it has been treated with care and respect all these years. Aesthetically, it is in exceptionally good condition for its age, and technically everything works perfectly. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask...

Yeah they’re terrible. It’s all based on a lot of legacy tech too.

By "earache" do you mean "thoroughly deserved criticism of his pathetic "customer service" and "skills" as a "luthier""?

So I had a quick play with my damaged bass. At present to hear anything with any degree of clarity through the embryonic sound hole requires that my ears are quite a lot close than is convenient. Having said that, the tone when I could hear it was rather nice, which makes me wonder not only about a soundhole for monitoring but also possible for micing. Anyway, gonna call the luthier over the weekend and get a design agreed, I'll update as soon as done 👍

Isn’t there a way to reassign what function the main footswitch does?

Long time lurker - first time poster after buying a shiny new Anagram earlier this week! Loving it so far, but the drives sounded a bit "dull" through my amp, fine through IEMS (I use backline and FOH) - any pointers for this? Also, the PSU seems a bit flimsy, especially for the cost... anyone had any joy powering with a power bank? There's some stuff on talkbass but nothing I can see that mentions real world use...

KZ-ZS10 or ZS10 pros are about the best of the bunch on a budget. I use them and they have plenty of bass, though I hear enough of that from the cab behind me anyway, so I have a mix with backing vocals, bit of drums and guitar etc. They’re all good all round budget IEM for about £40.

For sale, My Epiphone T bird with mods/upgrades depending on your point of view (Done professionally. Offered in excellent condition, it cant find any marks on it. The original pups have been swapped out for an EMG 35 soapbar set wired to EMG solderless pots and assigned as vol and tone for each pickup (there is a small visable gap on each side of the pickups due to different pickup dimensions). The battery is very neatly seated in the rear control cavity. The tuners have also been swapped out for a nice set of Gotohs, so all together a lovely bass which im only selling to fund emergency car repairs. All this wrapped up in a fitted T bird case with case candy (an unfortunate scratch on the case as pictured). None of the original parts are included or available sorry, I bought the bass in its current state. Although its in a hard case I would like pick up or meet up, but if you would like to organize a courier of your choice I have lots of packaging. Cheers Craig.

What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...
tauzero replied to kwmlondon's topic in General Discussion
Unbeknownst to the then current Mrs Zero, I had started seeing the then future Mrs Zero, a former girlfriend that I had re-encountered 25 years after she split up with me (at her dad's insistence). The then current Mrs Zero (Mrs Zero 2) never came to any of my gigs, and so the now current Mrs Zero (Mrs Zero 3) came along to them and became friends with the band and wives. The drummer gave us (by hand) a Christmas card which said "To Mike and Kaz" inside, and Mrs Zero 2 opened it. It was at this point (rather than after Christmas, which was my original plan) that I decided I should move out and move in with Mrs Zero 3. Ah yes, not-so-irrational prejudices: alcoholic wives. -
