Thanks @TNKA36 Brian
that’s a great video @PamPurrs ! as always I’m impressed by the video editing and also by the way you explain, it seems very natural for you. that’s excellent !
Hi Pam,
Great video. I’m mostly in lurk mode here but I also play a Hofner Ignition and posted about my strap issues a couple of years ago (Hofner Ignition Strap Issues). When I had a setup done locally, the luthier noted that the nut was about the highest he had ever seen and he cut it down a bit. Your solution seems better.
As for the white lettering on the Ignition truss rod cover, I just gently sanded it off. With LaBella flatwounds and playing the neck pickup, it is a very sweet-sounding instrument. And LIGHT…
Cheers,
Tim
Pam, you are a boss. I wouldn’t have the guts to even think about doing that myself.
Great vid. Your admirer from Toronto.
Thanks!
So I go into my local shop to get some picks, and what to my wondering eyes should appear on the wall, a Beatle Bass.
An Epiphone viola bass, I had to take it off the wall and play it. I get it now. I managed to walk out with just the picks, but I drive by the shop every day.
Surprisingly big tone for such a little thing
They also had a TRBX304 on the wall. Like where was this when I was looking for a bass? But good to see the shop get some good stock in.
That’s good to know. The bass guy at my local shop said they haven’t been able to get any product at all from Yamaha.
A quick question @PamPurrs
Did you have to do any filing of the new fret ends at all? I may attempt to actually fit mine today
The fret ends were fine. I did however use an Emory board (for fingernails) to round off the ends of the nut.
Good luck with your installation
Great Thanks for the quick reply
