Hello,

Production:
H.S. Anderson was made by Morris guitar factory under conduction of Mr. H. Shiino.
Generally, H.S. Anderson used high quality woods.
This bass was made by good pattern ash wood.
Later the licence for production was take over by Hohner

Hello,

I owned this bass. I bought it new 1976 in Breda (netherlands) at the musicshop SOL. Price was about fl 900,-. Fender basses had the same price at that time but I wanted to try something new.
I have playing the bass till this year. I sold it may 2013.
I was not the type that was very careful. During tours and concerts I put the bass on fire and throw it in the swimming pool. Never used a flight-case or bag  That explains the damage on the body. The bass was always operating as a bass should do.
I never changed the strings. Only when they broke. I think 2 or 3 times in the lifetime of the bass.
The pickup selector does not work since about 3 years. I did not need to fix it because the sound was ok.

The pickups are the same as a Fender Coronado. That explain the sound. It growls and sound fat.
I sold the bass because I needed a 5 string. (big band melodies mostly in Eb)

Ok, I hope I gave you the information you were looking for
Bram
