Hofner again...
« on: July 01, 2012, 09:58:21 PM »
My first bass 37 years ago was a Hofner 500/1. Now I bought this for $470. Should arrive in 2-3 weeks.

Nice score, especially at that price. Should be easy enough to get the electronics working.

Have you played one or would you gig with it or should you take some antacid to relieve that bloated sensation...? :mrgreen:

 Never played one, would never use it onstage another dust collector I'm afraid albeit a cool dust collector. I doubt it would relieve any bloated sensation I may be having, cycling and my green drink in the am are helping with that ;)

It's a cool looking bass, I just can't see the appeal of Stu Sutcliffe's name being attached to it.
