Hofner verithin?  A guitarist I played with years ago had the guitar version basically as his only guitar, sounded great too.. I have been toying with the horrible idea of making a bass from an old defunct acoustic guitar...

Really Simple... EHX Headphone Amp > Sennheiser HD206

I've just been doing exactly the same Paul,  but with the B1 four from your good self ! 👍

Trouble is I'll have forgotten all the cool little bass lines I was messing about with by tomorrow..

Seems to be totally pot luck with shipped items..

If you can go to a bricks and mortar shop tho, it's straightforward, try it, buy it, walk away with it.

And possibly a bit at the end where you hear your name called out in a very shrill and narked voice..

One of my favourite ladies and imo, her best track 

 

Nice !...plus she is one lovely lady..& great vid 👍  (we used to do that lighting up aerosol cans thing too !! )

If possible I'd always specify   "Do not send by DHL".   I've had problems with them more than once, stuff just vanishing seems a common one, I very recently had a GAK order like this... It was a  " give me a refund now and you sort it between yourselves please" job... which they did, but would rather have had the item delivered in the first place as you'd expect..

In the modern era , ie 2000 onward, I've always had a single multi pedal for doing gigs, if nothing else it's handy to have a tuner, provided it's 'lighty up' and visible, plus I tended to have a v.small ammount of chorus or reverb just to give the sound a little bit of extra something .   I never really went far into the effects that were on these pedals, personally I can't see the point of distortion on bass unless you're a Lemmy tribute act , just imho !

That is a tune ! 👍  what TV show was it from i wonder?

I simply wouldn't want to chance it, especially with the euro nonsense in the background.. There's lots of other places to order from, ok the DV type operators lure you with a few quid off but not worth the grief really.

That said I had a problem with GAK recently resulting in a "just give me a chuffin' refund".. outcome.    This as I understand it was a prob with  DHL ( who've been utter rubbish in the past too) rather than GAK themselves to be fair.

Glad I've seen this thread, I very nearly ordered something from them, and saved their details just in case... I'll give them a miss now, thanks for the "achtung warning" !..

I’ve met tyber and Si many times, this is good 

 

Cool!.. I do like that bit of tenor sax in there !  There's probably a lot of "standards" that'd reggae or ska up brilliantly.. Funnily enough I was messing about sussing out a Beatles song with a mind that it'd be great as a reggae or ska version...
