Hohner B2A For parts or repair. Bad stuff: - The trussrod is not usable. It turns about a quarter turn, very jerkily. Someone with skills and equipment may be able to fix it. If you are happy with a fairly high action (4mm at 12th fret), it might be usable as is, but in the longer term it will need fixing. - The usual dents and scratches, one of which goes through to the wood. The plastic thumbrest has been removed but does come with it. - The electrics have been completely revised and are now passive-only. The preamp is not installed; a blank module is in place. I will enclose a replacement which should work (though I've never tried it). The battery/electrics compartment door is missing, but at present this is not an issue. The electrics can be crackly but some switch cleaner should sort this out. I have no idea about the DI jack, I've never attempted it. The 6mm jack was said to be loose when I got it, but I've never found any problem with it. - One of the electrics cover screws ought to be replaced. - The gig bag is a Rockbag and is actually too big for it. It's in decent nick. Pics here: [url="http://s1295.photobucket.com/user/alyctes/library/Hohner%20B2A%20black?sort=3&page=1"]http://s1295.photobu...k?sort=3&page=1[/url] The pickups work. The tuners work, a bit stiffly. The electrics can be a bit crackly when adjusted. The switch in the front I think must have been passive/active, because it's now passive/silent (with occasional hums). £75 shipped. -

Too much cymbal for my liking.

Strange looking Kay. "Stripped back and de-fretted"

Is the headstock supposed to be like that? It looks as if it's been modified. -
I liked the birdfish. Not the Tesla; the neck's too short.

Fives are handy for low notes, but the real point of them, to me, is having to move less often. But I'm one of those people who doesn't get on with wide necks, so I'm steadily moving my fives on.

[quote name='baldwinbass' timestamp='1453655012' post='2961452'] Maybe showing my age, but I'm listening more & more to Radio 3 Late Junction - weird and wonderful stuff [/quote] Me too. Plus Radio 6. This is after a long time with almost no music radio. I hate Radio 1, and a lot of the ex-Radio 1 people on Radio 2. Steve Wright is one of the reasons I quit R1 in the first place.

https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/bass-guitar-awesomely-good-value-cool-guitar-/1151358014 I don't know much about Vesters except that they had a decent reputation and were removed from the marketplace by Fender somehow - or at least Fender got the blame...

[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1453413740' post='2959410'] Great basses these. I've got one the same on here too. To be honest I don't know why I'm selling it? Stunning looking, great sounding and wonderful players. GLWTS [/quote] Keep it

What size waist is it for, if I may ask? Thanks
-
Thanks for this, but the page is gone so I can't tell who the seller is. Would you mind naming him/her please?

Thomann selling Harley Benton basses as 'Decoration only'
alyctes replied to Annoying Twit's topic in Bass Guitars
I think I'd be surprised if that was around for long -
I bought strings from Martin, after he kindly contacted me. No issues, quick to send, all well. Happy to do business again. Thanks Martin

Cool?
