The neodymnium 10s in my Mark Bass 4x10 8 ohm cab are getting sloppy. I'm thinking of replacing them with SVT Eminences. Opinions on how well this would work?

Does anyone know what gauges strings originally shipped with the 3412 shorthorn (15 fret model)? I'm about ready to place an order with LaBella for some custom made sets. The gauges I measured on my 3412 are: E: ~0.0705" - call it 0.070 A: ~0.058" D: ~0.0425" - call it 0.042 G: ~0.030"...

Thanks, GI!! I knew someone would have a good answer. You're absolutely right about the light gauge strings being a major part of the sound of this bass. I can't believe how comfortable to play they are and how much sustain you get from them. From all I can gather, it seems there's no truss...

for the Danelectro 3412 shorthorn bass. Prefer roundwound. Been trying to find out what gauge strings fit this bass and what brand would be best. The strings currently on mine are very light, but I don't have a caliper or micrometer to measure them. Anyone have any info?

Guys, I have a couple questions regarding the shorthorn. Just found and bought the 15 fret. It's a '64 and so far I love it. The sound is surprisingly rich and the sustain is pretty amazing. You're right about getting used to the short neck. Muscle memory puts my left hand off by a few...

I'm close to pulling the trigger on a '64 Danelectro Shorthorn. I cannot look at it physically but it looks really good in the pics I've seen. My first question is what problems could exist that may not be apparent in the pictures? Second, I asked the current owner if this bass had a neck...

Sure, once I figure out how to get a picture into a message. But the bridge is a bolt on type that secures to the center block of the bass. It's has some mass to it, but is by no means overly big. As I mentioned, it is a fully adjustable bridge with screw type adjustment on the x and y axes...

Tony, I have a like-new Eastwood Classic IV with flats on it and hard shell case that I would be willing to trade. See pictures on the Eastwood site: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] The only real difference between mine and the one in the photo is that mine has a fully adjustable set...

I was going to pull the trigger on the Hello Music Club Icon yesterday, but it's no longer available I guess. Anyone else know of similar deals?

Thanks, Waldo19 for the great info!!!

jasper383, just noticed you were from Durham. Are you involved at all with the local Durham and Chapel Hill music scenes? I know a lot of people in the area. A friend of mine, Chris Chamis plays drums in a Beatles cover band called The Backbeat, gigs with his son Alex regularly as a duo, and...

Peacefrog35 and jasper383, thanks a million for the info!!! I have to admit I was a bit confused by Hello Music's description after reading yours, PF35, but I tended to trust your description, so please don't think I was in any way questioning your knowledge. Just need the reassurance you...

Thanks to all who responded!! Your comments/suggestions are really helpful. In regard to body center block, I was looking at the Hello Music site's offering of the transparent black Icon. In their ad for it, they said that it had a center block... "What It is: The Hofner Icon Club Bass has...

What are appreciable differences between the Hofner 500/2 Club Bass (most expensive at ~$2000), the Hofner CT Series Contemporary Club Bass (~$800) and the Hofner Icon Club Bass (~$350)? Aside from price, materials and country of origin, I'm looking for differences in sound and playability...
