Members 82Daion Posted April 5, 2008 Members Share Posted April 5, 2008 There are two bass players in that video, so I'm not sure which tone you're going for. Weymouth is playing a Hofner Club, so you'd want something shortscale and hollow, probably with flats, played with a pick near the bridge. I can't tell what amp she's using in that video. The other guy is using a P through what looks to be an early GK. What's your budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 82Daion Posted April 5, 2008 Members Share Posted April 5, 2008 What's a GK?My budget is $2000 firm. GK=Gallien Krueger Assuming you have a decent amp already, a Hofner Club Bass like that one will run you between $1500 and $2000, I'd reckon, if you must have that exact bass. For example: Hofners on Ebay If you don't need to have the genuine article, this should get you very close to that tone for a lot less money. Eastwood Club Bass Any hollowbody should work, really, as long as it has flats on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
