    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.

    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.

    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.

    Yes, playing bass through a guitar amp designed for rock is a guilty pleasure. Bonus pleasure playing through a guitar cab - with the added risk of blowing the speakers!

    I've used lip balm (vaseline brand) to achieve this when trying to 'age' a single string to match the rest.

    I have one of those cabs, I keep it for shared gigs and the like. Sound great and bomb proof.
  7. James Nada
    Yes, they've altered the key. It's a semitone higher in regular tuning

    +1 for the the ELF suggestion. I bought one for this exact reason but, to test it, I've used it as my main amp for a few gigs - it's surprisingly loud and our PA guy has favourable commented on the DI sound

    They would if they'd left the EU after being in it for 30 years

    Sorry to spoil your evening

    Because it could also fit into the category below.. The Killing, The Fall, The Tunnel, The Shield, The Wire It's pretty difficult until you see the answers

    I've used these, they're decent enough for cheap flats. I have a set on a backup bass

    Slight thread hijack, but it's kinda relevant... I have a Harley Benton Bass VI and I'm thinking of trying it with Baritone tuning (A to A, ideally). Can anyone recommend strings that'll fit? The Ernie Ball Baritone strings (presumably made to fit their own 4+2 headstock) look a smidge short on the highest strong at 100cm long
  17. James Nada
    That's quite believable given what you've posted in this thread already 😅

    As a side issue I remember Kerrang did a competition to win one of Nikki's Theatre of Pain outfits. Oddly the competition was in a about 1991, years after the Theatre tour. I wonder where that is?

    What do we think it's worth? Obvs, The value of a damaged Hamer + The value of a very cool item of Crue memorabilia. So £1000 + £5000 = £6000 Any advance on that?

    I bought an ELF as a backup to my Orange Terror, tried it in rehearsal and haven't used my Orange since. I play in a moderately loud surf band. Have done two gigs with it, including on a 'medium festival' sized stage with it DIed to the PA.

    Dennis Dunaway, original Alice Cooper band bassist, recent autobiography. £10 posted in the UK. *Sold*

    Me too. I'll be delving a little deeper into their back catalogue

    A cynic might suggest the concert feels more like a tribute to how versitle and great Dave Grohl is.
  24. James Nada
    Assuming the individual drivers are all 8 ohms you could rewire one of the cabs to be switchable between 8 and 2 ohms. Here's a diagram I've lifted from talkbass, just substitute 8ohms for 16ohms and 2 ohms for 4 ohms.

    Does anyone have or could point me in the direction of a template for a Hofner Shorty Bass body? I'm planning on cutting down an old Encore short scale P-bass to create a travel/emergency bass and think a Hofner Shorty shape is a decent place to start. Cheers
