Thanks a lot! I’ll get in touch with them!

Thanks! I know Chadwick is out of business, i had some mails with him back in the days but he retired on me That’s very kind of you, unfortunately black is like the only color i can’t stand hehe. Thanks so much anyways!

Dear community, I’m looking n the need of help. I got offered a tour in China but the promoters say it is rather hard to find decent rental instruments there, if any at all (). I’ve thought then on the possibility of actually buying a folding one over there. I recall some of the Chadwick were...

THANKS SO MUCH GROUSE789!!!

Hey dear community! Just wondering if any of you would have the schematics of that beautiful head? Mine’s doing the intermittent red/blue light and doesn’t wanna work. My amp tech’s having troubles finding the problem. Any help would he highly appreciated! Cheers and have a great week!i

Hey Bass friends, so i've been trying to find, already for years, a good case for my vintage 500/1 and i just can't. I haven't taken it yet in any plane only because of that but now the moment has come and i need to tour with that thing and the Höfner case, as you know, is absolutely not...

Hey Eriko! Great stuff, congrats on your new bass, you're gonna love it more and more. A 1970s Höfner 500/1 used to be my main bass for a long time, excellent instruments! I ended up making my own strap cause i wasn't satisfied with any, although the Höfner vintage ones are good, or the Fender...

Right now i play both almost 50-50. I started years ago with Long scales and i turned into short couple of years ago with an old Höfner, was weird at the beginning but became my main bass for sometime. Now i go back and forth between the Höfner, a shorty Hoyer, a long Burns and a P. They're all...

Might even be the MiM '59. That's worth one fourth of that price second hand. If it's a reissue the serial's gonna be weird, he should unbolt the neck and see the date of manufacture. If it's a real '61 I'D PAY THAT AMOUNT RIGHT AWAY PLUS ANY SHIPPING COST TO BRING IT TO GERMANY!!!!

my grain of sand to the subject. I usually use GHS Precision 45 on my long scales, i love the tone, dead right out of the package, thumpy and definitely with that vintage tone which i use on all my basses (on my german short scales i do use Pyramid Gold, really really really good strings!!!)...

What about those Japanese old Fenders and also the lawsuit japanese 70' and 80' basses like the Tokay? I've heard they're excellent instruments and they never go over one third or fourth of a mid/late 70' mia Fender.

Ok, i know know, it's kinda obvious but still i'd like to hear pros and cons. I finally decided to get a better P bass to my collection, i just reach the point where i need that sound for most of my projects. I would go for a modern MiA but i'm deep into Vintage (my main basses are a 70' Höfner...

Hey folks, i'm about to flight from Frankfurt, Germany to Santiago, Chile through Sao Paulo, BR and i have to bring my acoustic bass guitar with me. I'm not really on the economic position of buying an extra seat for it so i have to try my best to just bring it on board with me, so far that...

Hey Shardik, i've tried a bunch of acoustic strings in the last year to get the most reasonable volume and decent tone i could get acoustic. I'm more towards round, dark and upright-like sound and for that I'd definitely go for LaBella Nylon Tape 0.60, they have a very warm and short sound but...

Thanks a lot guys! AshIn Amsterdam, thanks a lot for the tipp, sadly the d'addarios are very modern sounding for my taste but good to know they make medium and available in Asterdam! I ended up getting some nylon wounds by Pyramid. Super nice sound and feel, not mega expensive and perfectly...
