    Go down your local B&Q and check the paint section. Arctic White is more like brilliant white and requires sunglasses in a bright light. Olympic White is more like magnolia, much more relaxing. Non-Fender versions of Olympic White often get called Ivory.

    It didn't look massively difficult, especially if you started with the correct size.

    You perhaps read this at Talkbass already ... https://www.talkbass.com/threads/adding-zero-glide-to-hofner-ignition.1218476/ I'm considering it myself.

    I was a teenager in the 1960s. At the time, I had no idea who the players were but Osborn was one of the bassists you heard constantly (without knowing it , of course) on much US pop music. Hence, even though I didn't take up bass playing until the early 1970s, JO had aleady influenced me. It is unfortunate that he didn't influence me more.

    That's the ones that I have on my Chinese Club ... https://www.hofner.com/guitars-basses/guitar-accessories/guitar-strings/hofner-bass-strings-flat-wound.html They are different to the Contemporary series. They are, I believe, made by Pyramid. And I have seen a close up pic of McCartney's Hofner and it appeared to have the dark green silks. https://www.hofner.com/guitars-basses/guitar-accessories/guitar-strings/hofner-bass-strings-nylon.html These black nylons have bright lime green silks. I struggled to get the E string through the tuner and so stuck to the ordinary flatwounds above. However, here in Brighton, I have spoken to a guy busking on a Chinese Hofner with Hofner black nylons, so it can be done and he sounded great.

    I imagine Thomann have a longstanding agreement with Fender which grants them the right to sell Fender products within the EU, of which the UK is no longer a member state.

    Sounded like the Hofner to me too. I hadn't seen it before ... good show.

    What colour are the silks on the 760F-MUS?

    I thnk this is what you're talking about ... Human Perception of String Tension and Compliance in Stringed Musical Instruments
  24. EssentialTension
    Straightforward, recommended buyer.
  25. EssentialTension
    In my experience La Bella 760FS is the set with black silk. Although the Strings Direct website says they are blue.
