@AlexDelores have you considered just tuning a 4-string B-D?

Cool! You'll be glad to know that I did sell the cab and had a perfect, seamless transaction with @essexbasscat who is a proper gent!

Thanks Chester!

Just had a very good straightforward transition, my Ditto Looper pedal winging it's way to sunny Kent. Quick comms and payment, deal with confidence folks!

Thanks Tom, it was a pleasure to meet you!

Tom just bought my Barefaced Midget cab, very sound fellow, no faffing about! Deal with confidence!

Is this what happened on my Barefaced Midget cab fs thread?

Oh, good! My Mrs said my tune for this month was a bit slow and lumpen, so exciting will be good!

A former colleague of mine won at least 3 guitars including a very decent Les Paul in the couple of years I worked with him, and had won some prior to that. I suspect he bought a fair few tickets...

Me too, even with the help of online tutorials/ YouTube etc. My fingers don't move fast enough to even do the first 2 bars

BassChat composition challenge March 2025 There's a very non-benign alien secured in the lab. We found an annoying frequency that it doesn't like either. It's dark sticky mass squirms in discomfort until it expires. Or does it... And, yes, I did watch Venom recently! 12 string guitar (GS-1) and fretless bass through NuX Mighty Plug Pro, Gretsch drums, Vintage UK Rogers snare

This used to be called motorboating iirc. I'm guessing it's caused by a defective capacitor on a power supply somewhere.

Good to know. Didn't have much joy with just turmeric.

Another good addition to the Hohner and probably Overlord headless bridges is to use Helicoil or Recoil stainless inserts. I've repaired a couple of bridges ( one for someone on here) where the threads had stripped. This also yielded a much smoother tuning experience. The cast bridge material is quite soft but the stainless insert will last longer than the owner! They're definitely metric, m3 iirc.

The Höfner tone knobs work "backwards " compared to just about every other manufacturer, just saying, if you're after authenticity. 10 is bassy, 1 is trebbly.

Did you consider fitting a pre-amp instead?

What are the issues with it?

Interesting. Perhaps he is more tuned in to the outcome you were all hoping for/expecting?

Sorry, missed this, on holiday. Probably too late but: https://bigstirrecords.bandcamp.com/track/where-are-the-living This is a home recording done on a Zoom r24 so the raw recording is what it is, but the label seemed happy with it.
