  1. I used to have one of these. Great neck. I rewired the humbucker(s) from series to parallel to make it a bit less boomy. Presumably the coil tap on the OPs is taking one of the pickups out of the circuit for a similar result
  2. This Behringer DI might be worth a punt, if you want something short term, or just to try as proof of concept. Less than £40. It allows for connection between amp and speaker. I've used one for the purpose of running a 'tap' off a PA system, with good results. https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Behringer-DI100-Ultra-DI-Box/2BI?origin=product-ads&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAxaCvBhBaEiwAvsLmWIqwyGg1Mbmiesh5RYXHvjjP3erUCD01QnvWoh3I44iZaihW8kCNERoC8ucQAvD_BwE
  3. Cool looking bass. How rare is a left handed model?
  4. Loads of details here: https://www.debassist.nl/muzieknieuws/artikel/2-29077/paul-mccartneys-first-hfner-is-back?fbclid=IwAR2zFoM5u-eKYQaIErdIhaLsDu8ryKT4MPo9mJTogDQd0DGzsVVhj60494U
  5. There's quite a lot of detail about how it was found and the state of the bass here: https://www.debassist.nl/muzieknieuws/artikel/2-29077/paul-mccartneys-first-hfner-is-back?fbclid=IwAR2zFoM5u-eKYQaIErdIhaLsDu8ryKT4MPo9mJTogDQd0DGzsVVhj60494U
  6. Lovely bass. Would be my Gibson of choice for sure
  7. I've always assumed it's an infinite radius (looks it) because the bridge is flat and there no individual adjustment for each saddle/string **I stand corrected, see next post
  8. I'd like a micro FX pedal that does a basic 'spring' reverb and tremolo in one, with a switch to select reverb, trem or both. For the one half of one song I currently need two Boss pedals for.
  9. Because if you s**t yourself you're only letting yourself down, if you can't continue a gig you're letting down bandmates, audiences, promoters...
  10. I currently always take one stage bass and a cheap short scale Encore as a spare kept in a case nearby - it's purely an emergency bass. I've never needed a spare in 30 years, until last weekend at a festival set when the E string snapped mid set. Thank goodness I had the crappy Encore on hand.
  11. A hofner Violin wouldn't be a bad choice for such mod. The strap is already on the heal (assuming you go for an Ignition, which the 'lowest' model) You have to replace/flip the nut. The bridge would need the fret-like pieces moving - very simple. The biggest challenge would moving the control panel, by cutting a new hole on the other side and putting a blank or whatever on the existing hole. That said, if you/she plays finger style I doubt the controls we be in the way anyway.
  12. Sad news. I love mine. It does a decent guitar sound too. I've also used it as an emergency vocal monitor and vinyl record amplifier.
  13. Is the OP perhaps getting a different bass response because the driver is closer to the floor when the cab is on its side? Or does that make no difference either? I've wondered myself what the effect of raising or lowering my cab is (Barefaced Super Compact 1x12), and if sitting it 'landscape' or 'portrait' makes any difference.
