I've got a Hofner Violin Bass (not a German one). Strung with Hofner flats, it's as far from my usual "distorted grand piano" as I can get, but it's just an absolute joy to play and hear - massive low thump, virtually no treble or sustain. I love it.

It was a real shame. I could literally move the neck side to side whilst playing 😄

I Me Mine - Beatles

Sweetest Jazz I ever played. Sadly mine was a bit of a Friday afternoon special and had a massive gap in the neck pocket so I had to return it, but the tone and feel was lovely.

That is odd, Will responded to Whatsapp, phone and email very quickly with me. Don't be put off.

Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Dub - Apollo 440

Forgot to add - free set up and a set of strings. DRs!

I couldn't possibly comment!

I don't think it's an Alembic copy - it's a different shape and offers a lot more adjustment*. Separate bridge and tailpiece wasn't an Alembic innovation. *This isn't a criticism of the Alembic bridge - they are designed to match the instrument so individual string height adjustment isn't necessary.

I bought something extremely special beginning with A from them a few weeks ago (NBD thread imminent). Will's a great bloke to deal with, very fair, friendly and up front, and he gave me a great part-ex offer on my Rickenbacker. They're opening a shop soon, and if this level of service carries on I reckon Bass Direct could have some real competition.
