I have to admit being a little bummed out thinking about stories I didn't get to ask my folks about. But I have my memories! I have a lot of music-gear-related memories with my dad that I wouldn't trade for anything - even if I may have traded the gear!

Amen!  Lots of great memories!

Got word today that my Club bass is crossing the Atlantic this week!  Hope they are right!  8)

Kurt got an email from the dopey Hofner rep with 30 excuses and a comment that it will be another month.  BS!  But, I'll wait, I've got the time.  Meanwhile, I'll continue my RIC trolling.......... :P

Lookie what I picked up today!   ;D  Unbelievable spruce top and flame sides, back and neck.  Really nice wood!!!  Beautiful hand applied violin style finish.  Sounds just like a Hofner should.  Took forever, but it sure came out nice!

That's sharp - congrats!  Is that their first club bass offering with the cavern pickup layout? 

Been a long time since I've handled a Hoffie, but I remember liking it.  That and a Dano Longhorn are two that I'd still love to get my mits on one day.

Love the bass sound in this clip:

This is probably heresy, but the Allen Woody signature Epi owed ALOT to the Club Bass.

Thanks!  I sold the gaudy White Falcon to buy this.  A great swap IMHO.

They really did a great job picking the wood for this bass.  Top notch.

I was gonna stop by but I had to get back to work for meetings.  I was at the HOG maybe 5 minutes!  I checked the bass, payed and ran out the door!  I'll be back.   :)
