For a casual OM turn on a bass, HB Shorty P all the way. I've had mine for over a decade and I've done nothing to it. At all. It's still got the strings on it came with. Didn't even need to touch the trussrod or intonation. Still going strong and sounds Brill. This coming from a serial bass fettler/buyer/seller is high praise indeed! Cheapest new bass I've ever bought too (apart from a HB deko) which really does make me question my otherwise very expensive habit 😂 It's short but sounds like a grown up P 👍

Congrats mate. That is good news indeed.

Yes he was 👍 I met him when I was 17 in 1989. He put me at ease (read: calmed me down 😄) and was lovely. Very patient and generous with his time. Top bloke.

I've often wondered if Johnny Marr wrote and played in that tuning to suit Morrissey's natural vocal range at the time. It worked for them anyway.

Andy Rourke 😗👌 It was only relatively recently that I discovered that most of his beautiful, melodic and highly memorable driving bass contributions to The Smiths were performed using regular (and pretty high tension) Rotosound 66s, but tuned up to F#! He made it look easy. Fabulous talent.

Same. It was the young Robbie's basslines that inspired my recent Hofner Violin acquisition, rather than that other bloke 😎
