I think I just scored another one... this time a '63

Just hit the BIN on a nice 63/64 Höfner Senator.  £510 ($700). I already own 3... '64, '60, '65

I really like it.  Great choice.

Single-pickup large-bodied. But I do collect for fins. I have both Blonde and Brunette ;-)

The blonde to the right, with two knobs (but of course!) is really beautiful. All that's missing is a wig... ;D

Congrats on your growing Hofner bass family. I see the one with the tort has a treble clef on the headstock along with a small bass clef. You'd think they could have just featured a bass clef by itself but I guess that would look too plain.
