Hi All I'm offering my immaculate Hohner B2ADB for sale. It was bought last year and will be shipped in all the original packaging. This bass has the D-tuner, which works beautiful and is very easy to live with. The quality of these basses is great and they play really well but the only issue I find is that they don't sit well or balance properly when on a strap so to resolve this issue I bought a special Steinberger extender arm which screws to back of the body enabling it to balance exactly like a standard bass - it works and sorts the problem brilliantly by making the strap fixing point just above the 15th fret . You can see the extender fitted below. These little arms are only available in the US and for one reason or another they will not send them out of the country so I picked this up on a recent trip . The electrics are two Select by EMG humbuckers, which may be used in active or passive mode (in case of battery failure) and the adjustable preamp has bass and treble adjustments via a stacked pot. The body is solid maple and the quality of construction is superb, easy access to upper frets and a nice slim, standard 34" scale Jazz-ish neck. I'm also offering a quality Ritter gig bag, which makes this portable beauty even more so with its rucksack-type straps. Also included are two sets of Status Hotwire double ball-end strings. Reason for sale ? It's not getting used . It's been used a little bit at home and it's been to rehearsals as a spare but never made it out of the gig bag. I'm in Gloucester if you would like to try before you buy. Thanks for looking. Sean PS: Apologies that the lawn isn't up to Warwickhunt's high standards but we've had a lot of rain lately. -
I'm guessing from the pics that it's more a Jazz profile neck than a P type? -
Mic in front of cab if we have strangers doing the sound, DI pre if it's our regular guy.

Gibson? Big name? Maybe for guitars. I wonder what Bassassin voted?

The upgrades (v2.2 onward) also allow connection to a Mac and give a bolder font on the display making the whole thing look a bit more substantial. Great gadget, we use it loads at rehearsal and gigs. I'd also recommend getting a tripod for it so you can position it to get the best sound.

[quote name='BOD2' post='443189' date='Mar 23 2009, 10:06 PM']Thanks for posting that. So do you have it fixed now ?[/quote] Yes, all sorted now. Lots of peopel have searched for these diagrams over the years it seems so hopefully they'll come in useful.

The guitarist in my band has a 4 string and an 8 string version and uses them on Losing My Religion - obviously not together but whichever he fancies whenever. They sound great and it always brings a smile to see him playing it.

I've got the wiring diagrams from Hohner - I'll post them later.

I was swapping out the battery from my B2A last night and teh positive (red) battery connect was suddenly just floating freely in there. I can't see any obvious places where it's come away and lft solder scars. Anyone know?

I had an SR5 for a couple of weeks. Lovely neck, great build quality, cool looks. Couldn't do a thing with it; thumb too far back for me and no matter what setting I used the sound wasn't me and the drummer gave me a jolly good talking to about how essential it is to have a thumping bass in big soul band.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='426134' date='Mar 5 2009, 01:28 PM']Copeland is one of my favourite all round musicians. One of the first records I ever bought was a puke green vinyl 10" EP with... and on it. He played all the instrument on it. I do appreciate Sting's playing but he never got any better than being that freaky Harkonnen in Dune and ambassador for the tantric orgasm. IMHO [/quote] I was playing that EP a coupel of weeks ago. Grandelinquent is fantastic - the whole thing is brilliant.

What's pricing like? These will have to go a bit to come near Elixirs. I've tried a couple of others, DR Long Life (wooly), the D'Addario (?) ones, some cheapies from the US and none of them measured up to Elixir for long life.

[quote name='molan' post='414799' date='Feb 19 2009, 09:58 PM']I know I'm gonna sound like a scratched record but I've played this bass &, as with all of Josh's choices, it's a lovely instrument [/quote] I concur, it's fab.

[quote name='Machines' post='415749' date='Feb 20 2009, 08:21 PM']Has anyone else noticed this elsewhere ?[/quote] The Hartke LH500s have shot up over the past few months. One of my students got one fr £189 as did a few members here, they are way more now.

Lakland Duck Dunn Skyline or Japanese Fender Precision?
Sean replied to Linus27's topic in Bass Guitars
The DD with a Fralin pickup will give you a JJ Burnel or a Jamerson type sound depending how you EQ your amp, as will the Jap Fender P. They'll both give you the sound you want but I'd say that the Lakland would have the better quality pick ups, the Japan P pup is a bit thin but some come with US pups. DDs are great basses as all all Laklands. -

Replied.

Still available

[quote name='yorks5stringer' post='408785' date='Feb 13 2009, 04:46 PM']I'm stripping a B2 and will not be using the existing pots/controls. Let me know if you need anything: having said that it is passive, they could be different and as the pickups are dead I have not tested what is the problem yet! Also had a dodgy tuner so replaced it but had to buy 4, have 3 spare tuners and 4 bridges too![/quote] Are you doing this up as a project?

[url="http://www.status-graphite.com"]http://www.status-graphite.com[/url] - follow the link and your nose to find the double ball end strings - fab strings and brilliant value too. I'd suggest contacting Hohner and seeing if they can help. Tell them that that it's an older model with the XLR output.

On hold pending the usual formalities. -
[quote name='GarethHD' post='405933' date='Feb 11 2009, 03:12 AM']I'm really looking for a 5 string one of these, but might be interested in this one if we can agree on a price. Would there be a deal on offer for cash, and does it come with a case or is it still in cardboard? cheers[/quote] Hi Gareth, It's brand new still boxed - maybe I didn't make that clear It doesn't come with a case. cash is what we're looking for, unfortuantely credit terms are no longer available. Price I'm advertising at is cash on collection or delivery can be thrown in. It's a brand new untouched bass and a hell of lot cheaper than anywhere. If you're really looking for a five string, go for one. Also there are usually a few of these knocking about on ebay. Why not go to [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=3"]"Introductions"[/url] and tell us a bit about yourself!

[quote name='Sandmann' post='399669' date='Feb 4 2009, 08:01 AM']i own the same bass only with a rosewood fretboard. these are incredible versatile and good sounding basses. good luck with the sale!!! sandmann[/quote] Fabulous instruments. I have a 55-02 as well so this is sort of redundant.
