    Building A Good Short Scale Bass

    Hofner Truss Rod

    Hello, i have posted before about strings, now i moved into another problem of my cheap hofner bass: neck dive.:eek: It's a very bad back bow, every high note(probably starts from fret 11) in every string, when i play it caused crazy fret buzz, even some of the low notes buzzes too. I brought...

    Rotosound Jazz Bass 77 for Hofner Bass

    well, honestly, i like high tension because i play with resting my finger on the neck and don't want it to sound sloppy. What i am afraid of is about the brightness.

    Rotosound Jazz Bass 77 for Hofner Bass

    Yes, i want to buy them to, but unfortunately there was nobody selling these string in my area, and i don't have any VISA/PalPay/any other online shop account to buy them online. What a shame. I lived in Indonesia, so my English were not as good as you guys, what does stiff means? Rough? Btw...

    Rotosound Jazz Bass 77 for Hofner Bass

    thanks a lot for the fast reply, So i assume for a hollow body it will get thumpy even without a foam? You said they are the finest strings i can get for rounds, do you mean it was a roundwound not flatwound, or you are talking about the price? I was quite confused here.:D

    Nice Trebly Pickup

    I'm sorry, but you have to look back to my previous post. It's not the germany one. It's cheap. The stock string is a cheap roundwound. So i have replaced it with a quite bright d'addario nickel wound. Still, bassy all the way.

    Nice Trebly Pickup

    thank you for all the reply, it really means to me. I'm sorry i haven't said this before, but my hofner is not the germany made, mccartney like, mine is a hofner icon, budget version, bad sunburst, cheap knob, only $185, or 2 million in indonesian rupiah. Nobody's father would buy his son a...
