    Don't suppose anyone has tab for the bass solo in Regret by New order ? Thanks

      The odd note missing here or there but I reckon this'll get you most of the way there https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/new-order/regret-bass-1061284

      Thank you, much appreciated

    Yeah I tried this set and I found them way too stiff, they sounded great but they were painful to play, they lasted all of 2 days.

    Learning Can you dig it by the Mock Turtles for band practice, not technically difficult but a surprising amount of little nuances to this bass line, will try and nail it but might have to approximate it.

      I have every confidence in you if you put in the work.

      Thank you, I think I just need to nail the rhythm in the chorus, the other bits are not spot on to the original but they are close enough to work.

      Ok, progress at last, I can't say I can play it just like the recording, I have my own approximation of the bass line but I have at last managed to make it through the entire song.

    That's a nice problem to have. I currently have a Gretsch junior jet ii and a bass I put together from parts, would love another bass but don't really have the space so it will have to wait until I have shifted the parts bass (the Gretsch is staying)

    When I had a Hofner if I was struggling with a song I used to switch the Bass slider switch on, instant mud that means no-one can tell when you botched a note or six. I feel I should also mention that they are actually surprisingly articulate basses with the Bass slider off and both pickups on.

    Hi Anyone have any experience with a brand by the name of Groove? This could either be a great bargain or an expensive mistake, not pulled the trigger on one of these but tempted Groove bass

    Looking at the price of these they seem to be selling for £900+ , nice looking bass but no way I would blind buy at that price, you could get a Vintera P bass for that price.

    Good choice, a couple of things to note 1. Make sure your get the Hofner specific set 2. The winding is quite long, it is absolutely normal and not an issue for some of the string to wrap around the tuning post, take your time with fitting the E string and you will be fine.

    Honestly because of the scale length and the small tuners you are a bit restricted, Labella or TI (the Hofner sets for both) are both very good, the TI's being more articulate and the Labellas being thumper. When I used a Hofner I started on the Labellas but ended up using Thomastik infield as the lower tension suited me better.

    I second this about the dead E string, deadest I have heard on a set of flats.
  12. shoulderpet
    I was not a fan, I like the Rotosound and Daddario tapes but when I tried the Labellas I found my bass got absolutely buried in the mix, literally none of my notes were distinguishable, embarrassingly I found this out when I went to a jam night on the same night that I changed my strings, the one event where you are completely relying on your ears.

    The other thing you could do is wire them in series with each other, that will give you a super beefy dark tone, they might be fine though with the tone rolled back, they have decent low end.
  14. shoulderpet
    You don't want the Ultra jazz pickup, great pickups but bright and scooped, model J is what you want.
  15. shoulderpet
    Gorgeous bass, how is the tone? Is the neck pickup similar to one of the Gibson mudbuckers?
  16. shoulderpet

    Ahh finally the Thomastik infeld jazz rounds have come off my bass, a set of short scale Fender rounds have taken there place, bass no longer sounds like it is being played with the tone rolled off, I know some people love TI rounds but definitely not for me.

    Just a question on the tape issue, and apologies for the slight detail, does the tape serve a structural purpose or is it there just for the aesthetics? Have been considering a Danelectro for a while and the tape thing concerns me, if it is just there for aesthetics then I could remove the tape.

    What is the tension like on these, I love strings that are low tension and flexible, wondering if these would fit the bill for my shortscale Gretsch bass

    That would look great with a painted finish black neck

    Assuming it is something easily replaceable like a Fender style bridge I would just get a new saddle, cheap and easy fix and hopefully should hold out for a long time.

    Not sure what the preamp in the TMB100 bass is but if it is the same preamp as the one used in the Mezzo bass then the biggest upgrade sonically would be too upgrade the preamp.
  23. shoulderpet
    Yeah mine was ridiculously heavy, sounds like yours sounded better than mine did though, mine was mud central.
  24. shoulderpet
    I love the Sisters cover of Confide in me

    Upgrade day, Hipshot licensed tuners, the tuners being the only real weak point of this bass
