Hofner again...

[Chris P.]

In fact Höfner doesn't call his name. I believe it's just called President or Präsident or it has the 500/something code. People call it Stu.

  I have been resisting this for weeks  http://www.ebay.com/itm/290728021847?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Me too, I'm watching that one too!

[Highlander]

Now lets have a clean fight, no biting or hitting below the belt...

[godofthunder]

  No need to fight there are 4 available. 

[Highlander]

Oh my gawd...! there's only four left...! You'll create panic buying letting stuff like that become public knowledge...

[Rob]

I've heard of him too! Does he play a Hofner?

Just an MC for a one armed violinist

I'm still mulling it over.  I'm happy with my 5123 and the EB-650 for now.  Not sure it would get much play time.

I got a real jones for a Club right now. The Icon just seems to far off the mark (even being hollow, the neck is way different and I'm wary of the Indonesian build and electronics) and I'm too cheap to pay the 800 or whatever a CT would run me even if I had the money (and the real one is way out of my league these days). If anyone sees a used Contemporary Club for sale, let me know!

I love my Club.   Played it at my last two gigs and everyone loved the tone.  I did have to sell a bass and some parts to fund a German model.  It was worth it in the end.

I've been looking at stuff and wondering what I could off to fund a Hofner.

 I played the President today, what a beautiful piece of work I can not believe it is made in China.  Seven hundred seems a steal. I want it but I sure don't need it.

[Highlander]

Go for it then, Scott, as a late b/d treat, then if it doesn't work out at least you've got rid of the itch and sell/chop it in and consider the loss as a "rental" cost... Bill might even be interested then as a cut-price item...

We've all done stranger things...

You never know, it might work out...

[godofthunder]

Sigh................. Big help you are Kenny.

[Highlander]

I have moments...

[godofthunder]

  Not a flaw could I find with this bass, lovingly crafted. Fine grain selection, the inlay on the headstock masterfully executed.............................even the tuners were little works of art.
