    I do believe @Dad3353is a bit of a Hofner knowledge base - hopefully he'll have some ideas.

    Sold Ah, posts crossed (before I get any more grief).

    Hi Beams on order. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Plenty there if the DRs don't work out.

    This and your previous post rings so true with me. The other problem I have is that I want to play different styles, so would ideally be in multiple bands, and that just isn't going to happen. @BigRedXfully appreciate where you are coming from. I've admired your determination and your work (even bought a Terrortones CD) but what you have done requires a level of tenacity that I doubt many of us can muster!

    Scores high on the zing factor but fails badly (in my previous experience) on the other two required factors!

    Used to like DR guitar strings, so these are on the shortlist.

    Looking for a contrast to my d'addario chrome strung p bass. I'm looking for bright, long lasting round wounds that are easy on the plucking fingers. What do you recommend? Coated? Nickel?

    Not just the drums that will bury you, but the bottom end of the guitar will fill your sonic space. The other big difference is how bass sounds out in the audience compared to how it sounds on stage. Don't get too worried if it doesn't sound great when you stand next to the cab, it's what the punters hear that really counts.

    If we're not careful, moisturiser could become the next holy grail for tone! In all seriousness, I'm a big admirer of these recycled, repurposed builds. Hats off to you

    Always open to suggestions @BaggyMan

    Bought this for some lockdown fun but ended up just using it as a recording input device, so time to move it on. Loads of great stuff, including the legendary Digitech Whammy - just don't ask me how to work it 😟 In very good used condition, no box. Generic replacement PSU works but should be replaced as there is a small crack in it and a bit of loose plastic rattling about inside. Checked eBay sold prices and set mine accordingly. Includes UK postage.

    I bought this as a backup when I went on tour pre-lockdown. It didn't get used then, and apart from a bit of home noodling it hasn't seen any action. In mint condition, plays really nicely, comfy neck - nut width 47.5mm, 19mm spacing, 34" scale. Checked eBay prices so hope I've set this fairly. Case and courier up for discussion.

    It was originally the track he called Fleetwood Mac. But yes, Peter hated the limelight, especially in the later years. Which is a great shame as he still had a great talent which just needed the right setting to blossom. Both me and @mybasscan attest to the sad fact that the right setting wasn't what he got.

    There has been a lot of research on noise cancelling and noise reduction for clubs and outdoor events allowing people to continue to enjoy live and electronic music where it may have been banned previously. Something we should support as musicians.

    @Barking Spiderssee above for the first question. The tape box in question was from a jam session they did during a John Mayall recording when McVie, Fleetwood and Green were in the Bluesbreakers. Can't answer the second.
  18. Mykesbass
    Absolutely - to most people it is all about Buckingham and Nicks (even when Christine McVie was singing). The two originals were just the happy accident of a name being written on a tape box in the studio.
  19. Mykesbass
    He is a huge talent, but sorry, Peter Green made Fleetwood Mac.

    Just been enjoying your YouTube channel @Bart Funk Bass. Got some really interesting tracks on there and liking the repetitive lines - giving me a good workout while I'm trying to get my mojo back (and my fingers working again)!
  21. Mykesbass
    I'd put this track in the 'alright, but not amazing' pile except for one bit - check the beautiful bass note at the end of the horn riff just after the little vocal refrain. Absolute masterclass in dropping the note in exactly the right place!

    Have a look through here -

    Dug this album out as I'm rediscovering my love for Jazz. Great choice! Interesting use of cello, some sublime cornet playing, and some fabulous guitar. A great 'gateway' album for anyone wanting a second step into the world of Jazz - accessible, yet still very credible (i.e. not Dinner Jazz)!

    One of my early purchases was Wes Montgomery Fingerpicking - went to the listening booth in Dobell's and was blown away by it. Proper grown up experience for a 12 or 13 year old!
  25. Mykesbass
    Fabulous.
