I've got a 1963 Harmony H22 that gets a similar sound and is fun and easy to play. Looking forward to more videos.....greg

I too have a '66 H22. It's a bit dead on the low E above the 3rd fret. Of course, it's got an old set of flats on it possibly from '66!!! LOL! So, I guess need to change them. What strings do you use on yours, what gauge and any neck issues with certian sets or gauges, etc.? Thanks!

I use a set of TI's, not sure on the gauge as I got them from a local store that I always go to. I haven't had any neck issues, though I did have that shop pin the bridge for me. The biggest problem that I have with this bass is that it feeds back out of control at stage volumes. A friend at the local blues jam has an H22 also and his does not feed back at all at the same volume, though his is slightly heavier so perhaps that could be why.
