That's strange. AFAIK everyone else on here who got in touch with them was sorted out with replacement stands for their sticky ones. Who did you contact?

But it's better and easier to get replacements from Hercules.

Why amplification? Because an acoustic bass unamplified simply can't compete volume-wise with anything more than a single gently strummed acoustic guitar. Why use something other than an acoustic bass? IME you need to spend a lot of money to get something that sounds even half as good as a cheap P-Bass copy with flats. On top of that there are all sorts of problems with handling noise and susceptibility to feedback.

For home use almost anything will do that you like the look, feel and sound of. Having said that because of the extra build requirements of an acoustic bass you need to spend a lot more money to get an instrument on a par with even an average 6-string acoustic guitar. For live use (even at an acoustic pub gig) you will need amplification, which in my view pretty much negates the point of having an acoustic bass in the first place. Unless image is paramount in this situation, you will be far better served in terms of sound and playability by almost any solid bass (preferably fretless) fitted with flats.

So two channel rather than stereo.

TBH I don't listen to very much music. I find it too distracting when I'm working, and most of the time when I am not, I am busy working on my own songs. The rest of the time I enjoy the silence.

Very cool. What's the scale length? Interesting that it uses the Birdsong trick of having longer run of the low B(?) string behind the bridge to change the compliance of the string. Does it make a noticeable difference to the feel?

Collection only which may keep the price low and a bargain for anyone prepared/qble to go in person.

IMO there is zero reason to upgrade to Mojave unless you have another piece of mission-critical software that absolutely requires it.

You would hope so if it was a one-off custom build.

What do you want it for?

Some people don't spend all their time buying and selling on eBay. Also IME people don't seem to bother quite so much with feedback for private sales these days as they did in the past. I only joined eBay because I'd seen something I wanted to buy and it wasn't available elsewhere. After that I didn't buy anything else for almost a year. I didn't start selling for another 3 or 4 years after that, and I don't think I've bought or sold anything on eBay for at least a year now. If I wanted to pull a scam I'd sign up and build myself a decent history (and feedback score) buying small cheap items from commercial sellers first.

It's a jazz bass copy being played by a badly dressed bloke with a beard. It doesn't got much less interesting than that.

Have they got lots of negative or neutral feedback, or just not bought or sold many items? How long have they been an eBay member? Everyone has to start somewhere.

In almost 40 years of gigging (around 1000 gigs) I have had catastrophic equipment failures on just 3 occasions. I've probably had another 10 instances where equipment has played up at the gig but behaved perfectly fine once back at home and at the next rehearsal or gig. IME the vast majority of equipment failures I see at gigs for is for old gear that has been inadequately maintained/looked after.

A "Rick" for someone who really wants a Fender Jazz...

For me the actual music comes first and the musicians who play it it a long way down the order certainly behind the songwriting/composition, production and image. I don't care how "good" a musician you are if I don't like the music that you play, you are IMO using your powers for evil and consequently of no interest to me.

I have got to agree. The one Hohner guitar I have owned also isn't on there - TE Custom XII. Although there is a TE Custom XII listed it's the black version which is simply a 12 string neck on the standard TE telecaster shape in black. Mine was a Jaguar/Jazzmaster shape with 3 lipstick pickups and in a castle green/blue colour. The only other one the same I have seen was owned by Captain Sensible.

Surely all the good Joe Walsh material was written and recorded before he joined The Eagles?

IME somewhere between 10 and 25% of people who say they will "attend" on Facebook actually show up at the gig. However it works the other way too. If you sell advance tickets on-line for a gig, 10-25% of those who buy tickets won't be there, but you'll still get paid for the sales.

As I suspected. IMO Mojave is still far too new for anything other than beta testers and early adaptors with no "mission critical" requirements for their computer. I have never understood the need to update at the first opportunity especially something like the OS. My advice is always to wait until the .4 update by which time Apple will have eliminated the worst bugs in the OS and software writers will have had time to come up with workable updates to their applications and drivers. I never update the OS on any of my Macs unless I need to run a newer version of a program that requires a newer version of the OS, and even then I'll only update to the oldest stable version of the OS that supports the newer program. HTH.

True. Unfortunately that's not a good bit of 70s rock. I'd have disliked them as much in the 70s as I do now.

Who actually watches music channels? When I first heard about MTV I thought it was a fantastic idea and couldn't wait to get it myself. When I finally did through cable in the late 90s the whole experience was completely underwhelming.

Tedious 70s influenced rock of the worst kind.

I would suggest that your update to Mojave might be the culprit, as the drivers may no longer be compatible. Has the interface worked at all since the update? Unless you absolutely require the capabilities of Mojave for something else I suggest that you go back to your previous version of Mac OS.
