Both times sound engineer thought it was active beacuse of the huge output and insisted I used the Hohner over the performer. My first band in 1987, through a borrowed amp and my 15" speaker cab. Ignore fretless, I soon switch to thw B2: Love that! Clear audio and video from 1987! Wish i had that from gigs in 2018! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Quick question, I’ve been looking at a few hohner B2’s, it says some have been adapted to take normal strings, how do they do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Anyone got good recommendations for strings? I've got Status strings on my Washburn Status at the moment, I had Pyramids on my old Hohner and they were great, but never tried any others... Looking for a bright, zingy sound and light weight. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I've never liked headless guitars. I always think there's something missing plus the head is part of what makes guitars sexy. I like a guitar to look good. That's why I like Fenders and Thunderbirds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have played Elixir strings for years and love the feel and long-lasting brightness of coated strings, but try finding coated double-balls I use Status strings on both my S2's now and do like them, but they don't keep their brightness as long.

That's why I like Fenders and Thunderbirds Apart from being fugly, headstocks wreck the balance of basses. Warwick really missed a trick not making the Thumb headless as they planned at one point. Still, each to their own, and you have my sympathy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
