I like their album "Combustication".  A bit more psychedelic/experimental than the Scofield track above, but there's some good grooves and plenty of the Hofner to be heard...

Well, I was pleasantly surprised last night!  I played the Club for 2.5 hours of practice and it performed much better than I expected.  It was a little muddy at first, but the Bass/Treble switches really make a difference.  By turning the bass off and the treble on, it cleaned things up considerably.  It cut through quite nicely and the guys liked its tone.  I didn't have any feedback issues, which I was concerned with at the volumes we play.  I'm going to play it for a major part of Saturday night's gig.  It's so light and the 30" scale is a breeze to navigate.  A nice bass to play for sure!!!

I'm thinkin' that I need to nominate Leftybass and Fraulein Rommel as "Best-Dressed On Stage" among this group!

Great pictures lefty!  I took my camaera to our gig Staurday night and gave it to my wife.  I asked her to take a couple pictures of the gorup and of me playing my Hofner.  I got 2 pictures, both blurry and taken from a mile away.  I'll never ask her to do that again!!!

Anyway, the bass sounded great in the live setting.  I played for over an hour.  Rich full sound and several other musicians in the room remarked how nice it sounded.  I love it.
