I've got a Hofner Violin Bass (not a German one). Strung with Hofner flats, it's as far from my usual "distorted grand piano" as I can get, but it's just an absolute joy to play and hear - massive low thump, virtually no treble or sustain. I love it.

It was a real shame. I could literally move the neck side to side whilst playing 😄

I Me Mine - Beatles

Sweetest Jazz I ever played. Sadly mine was a bit of a Friday afternoon special and had a massive gap in the neck pocket so I had to return it, but the tone and feel was lovely.

Edge of Seventeen - Nevie Sticks

That is odd, Will responded to Whatsapp, phone and email very quickly with me. Don't be put off.

Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Dub - Apollo 440

Forgot to add - free set up and a set of strings. DRs!

I couldn't possibly comment!

I don't think it's an Alembic copy - it's a different shape and offers a lot more adjustment*. Separate bridge and tailpiece wasn't an Alembic innovation. *This isn't a criticism of the Alembic bridge - they are designed to match the instrument so individual string height adjustment isn't necessary.

I bought something extremely special beginning with A from them a few weeks ago (NBD thread imminent). Will's a great bloke to deal with, very fair, friendly and up front, and he gave me a great part-ex offer on my Rickenbacker. They're opening a shop soon, and if this level of service carries on I reckon Bass Direct could have some real competition.
