Just had my Senator rebuilt by Jacks instruments in Manchester. Like others, a brilliant job, he's pretty experienced in Hofners now so worth giving him a look.

+1 for Jack just done a brilliant job on my Hofner senator..highly recommended!

Bought Dylans Fretless jazz, ...................................smoooth Nice guy to deal with! Cheers!

Yup Staggs and the Eastcoast derivatives can be bowed. Best sound seems to be with the Bass boost up slightly (not the case, I find with pizz, I wind it right off) i just use an old Ashdown Perfect 10 combo and it doesn't sound bad at all.

I Bow mine and its actually not too bad, The gap on the strings is tighter but its possible and you sorta getta muscle memory in changing the bow angle - I just practiced open dtring for a while. As for sound, I found out when having a lesson, that turning up the bass boost works with the bow (not much use wither finger style, though) and a final thought, the noisy electronics seem to be affected buy energy saving light bulbs..........as you move away the noise reduces......

3rd October Masterclass, anyone else going? I'll be the confused looking one......

Got the natrual finish one of these about three years ago. (Work in Cologne where these are from) Absolutely brilliant guitar! The neck is very slim, seventies Jazz-like and the gloss finish on mine superb. Action ridiculously low and thats as received. Sound holds its own against a Mex Fender. (I've got one) The price is great just for the neck; I'm horribly tempted to get another ..... recommended

I picked up my two Neo 12s from Marks place in the Netherlands and saw the proto of this.......... It will be amazing, this guy knows Bass.......................................................
