    Can you use standard strings on these or do you have to use double ball end?  

    DBE's required on this John. I'll add a photo. You might be able to fit a non-std./Hohner 'headstock' (?). It's currently fitted with DAddario Ni/RW's (45-100) + the original DBE strings (s/s RWs) are still in the side-pocket. There do seem to be plenty of DBE strings still available (ebay), though not so sure re. FW's :-

  3. Superb HOHNER B2A Active / HeadLess bass in the less common metallic/matt silver/gunmetal. D-tuner @ bridge. Basswood body with maple neck / rosewood 24-fret/board. 2X Volume (one per EMG / Select HB pickup/s) + Bass / Treble boost (+/-) when switched to active. The bass is ‘true-passive’ so will play in passive mode w/out battery. 34” scale, 1.5” (38mm) nut; 10/18mm string spacings (nut/bridge). The instrument is only 39” (99cm) overall and weighs only c. 6.5 lbs. There are (always) a few of these around, but very few in this colour / condition. C/w generic but correct (fitting) gig-bag.

    If I estimate the bridge pickup position correctly, I'd say that it has a '70s J pickup, not '60s - but I'm not entirely sure.

    ... could be right, I was just quoting the Clover specs: ..." When the toggle switch is in towards the neck position the passive single coil mode is activated (full bodied early 60´s single coil characteristics with true hardware-bypass and passive tone control) ..."

    I assume the coin is glued in? Could it not be heated gently enough to melt the glue but without damaging the coin? 

    Might be possible. I did speak to a couple of respected UK luthiers and they were concerned re. the coin, the holly wood (difficult apparenly) and not knowing what epoxy/resin(s) might have been used to both fix and surround the coin.

    Nice bass David and loads of cracking info... except for the bit we all ask eventually, what does it weigh?  :)  

    Thanks Jon ... sorry, I thought I'd included that. It's reading 9.1lbs on our digi-scales. You're right about the weight Q. Maybe it should be included with the required info (location, price etc.)

    ... just tried it on the alternative hand-held luggage digi-scales = 8.88 lbs (could be right as it matches the price?!). So probably somewhere in the 8.8 - 9.1 range..................

    Thanks for the update / link BCH - some really interesting options. Aesthetically (+personally) I prefer the original (?) front grille(s); not ure if they remain an option?
