    Overpriced by somewhere about 200%, IMO.

    This is the body ad, I think? Worth reopening it, probably.

    What happened to the piezo bridge?

    There are a couple of related things which might have an effect. If you play left-handed, then you need a left-handed bass. I have the impression that for left-handed basses the choice tends to be smaller and the basses often more expensive. Also you might find it harder to find a teacher who's left-handed, which could make it harder to teach. It will be worth doing some research. The For Sale section here separates left- and right-handed basses; have a look, see how the number of basses available compares (because I might be talking complete nonsense ). Good luck whichever you try.

    I'm impressed by your adaptability. I played cello as a teenager; when I tried to pick it up again five years ago, I discovered that I couldn't play in fifths (cello string interval) any more. I've still got the cello, but it's tuned in fourths...

    Can it be bowed?

    Thanks, though that doesn't really answer the need.

    Is it possible to search a thread for comments by me? (Or for that matter by someone else, if I know their name?) I haven't been able to get the Search box to do this. (I know, I fail at the Interwebs...)

    Probably worth altering the thread title to reflect your change of price.

    I think the theorbo's much better looking, myself.

    If it ain't baroque, don't fix it

    Japan, 'Quiet Life'.

    I broke my collarbone years ago and learned to use a (right-handed) mouse with my left hand as a result. It didn't take particularly long (about a month?). This might help.

    Could you rout the front of the neck for a trussrod and add a fretboard? With a bit of tactical hacksawing and routing of the back of the board you could probably add Happy Jack's rigid steel L-beam You'd need to raise the bridge, but that should be reasonably easy.

    Could you get away with three strings? That should reduce the problem considerably - and maybe to a manageable level, at least for a while?

    Michael Head, in Bristol. Enjoyed the support more - Vona Vella, in particular. They will go far, with any luck.

    Some ar$e on a motorbike.

    I don't like reliced instruments, but this looks really good. GLWYS!

    Mmm. I gather these are lovely, but I cannot abide that headstock... Best wishes for a rapid and painless recovery, anyhow.

    FWIW, I can't see any pics on the link.

    I acquired a pBone some years ago. But I like my neighbours, so...

    There is also the SRH500, semi-acoustic. https://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_srh500f_nnf.htm
  23. alyctes
    Thanks. I'll have a think.
  24. alyctes
    How would anyone know if it was genuine?!

    Paddy bought a cheap-but-not-nasty Hohner from me for his son. All went well and I'm pleased it's gone to a good home. Thanks
