Does anyone know what strings/ gauge were originally supplied with the Hohner Jack? And what string gauge is recommended by users?

Thanks that's good to know. I'll order one.

Just bought a Hohner Jack. I'd like the option of using standard strings. Any suggestions on adaptors. I've seen one on Ebay from New York : [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221216693577#ht_728wt_1172"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221216693577#ht_728wt_1172[/url] Has anyone tried these?

Thanks for that. Was your kit from the same company in Ireland? What pickups would you recommend for the headless version?

Many thanks - I'll wait for a good one!

Thanks very much for your reply. I think I've been put off bidding for it as a repair sound expensive?

I'd be grateful for advice on the small crack on the neck (see photos). Is this likely to be a serious concern?

Can someone confirm the scale length of a Hohner Jack? Are all headless designs the same scale length?

I need help. Shall I just order a couple and then report back?

Are they worth a try? The price seems to good to be true...

As someone relatively new to bass I'd like some advice on amps/ speakers. Thomann are doing the Ashdown Little Giant 1000 at a good price. With a single Gallien Krueger 210MBE would this be enough for small gigswithout a PA, and larger gigs with a PA ? Thomann have a bundle offer with two 210MBE cabs, but they are out of stock of cabs at the moment (the bundle item is 275051). Would I need the two cabs? Or should I go down another route? I quite like the idea of the lightweight stuff that's available but don't have a massive budget. On the other hand I don't want to find I'm under-powered. I'd appreciate any advice/ suggestions.
