Hofner again...

[ilan]

My first bass 37 years ago was a Hofner 500/1. Now I bought this for $470. Should arrive in 2-3 weeks.

Wow, that's so beautifull!! I love simple basses and this one's great in that way! Congrats!!

Oh yeah, I love it.   Is it the new RI?

[godofthunder]

 Nope it's a '64 what a great deal!

[Dave W]

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

Where does the battery go...?

[Pilgrim]

Dang, that's purty. 

[drbassman]

I am sooooo envious!

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

[Highlander]

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

[godofthunder]

 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

I played the Stu and I like it!

[Dave W]

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

It's like Neubaum Turk. . . "yeah I heard of that guy"

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