"... a fantastic and very rare and original Hofner Violin Bass. This bass is in good averall condictions for the age ..."

Fantastic indeed. Good action, too. Surely no need for a neck reset. Or frets.

Holy crap! That looks like it could be 1/2" or more.

I think that averall, it's not that bad to truch around with a minor misspelling in this thread.

Well, Höfner had a "Verithin" series, so they are not without misspellings themselves.

I like 'Verithin' writing better than the modern 'Verythin'. Verithin has something special and it's a bit like 'beauty' and 'beautiful'. The changing y to i seems logocal in that way.
