Barnes & Mullins. Just search Hofner spare parts. They have the lot 👍😊

Hi all I have a 10 year old HTC 500/1 and I’m after advice as to if the German strip tuners shown in the pics will fit it I guess it’s the distance between the two tuner holes mainly and I’m assuming at this point that the ferrels will fit 🤷‍♂️😊 Thanks in advance for any help Mike

I love my "Ronnie".... It's ace 👍😂

Hi I've had and own Fenders, Ricky's and Hofners ect and in July went watching Generation Sex at The Apollo in Manchester and was blown away and curious about what their bass player was playing My post is below (Plus 2 pic's) and you will see the reactions from folk............ Mine was £129 plus a few mods but I'm still gigging it because its light, plays bang on and if it gets nicked or damaged then it's not the end of the world! Mines nicknamed "Ronnie" for obvious reasons

Mint this

Gone with Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders. I have a Nate Mendel and just found out this is what is fitted on that bass and it sounds ace

Hi all I have a bass that is a PJ layout and each pick up has it's own volume and tone adjustment I've ordered a new custom wiring kit (James home of tone) for the controls ect and I'm just about to add new Seymour Duncan quarter pounders to both the neck and bridge positions Once I've fitted this lot I'm after a little help to guide me in the right direction to adjust the pick up heights to an optimum height I know that many people will have different views but please let me have your thoughts on this subject Thanks in advance Mike

Need some help. I play in an 80’s band and wait for it… A punk band. I’ve found a set of Seymour Duncan neck and bridge pickups along with an Aguilar set so which one do I buy 🤔😊👍

Gigged with my "Ronnie" twice now and I love it! ...... Sounds ace too The great news is that if it got nicked it's not the end of the world

It's Ronnie O'Sullivan the snooker player

All finished now so I'm just gonna get on with gigging it until I'm missing my Ricky again.... Thanks for everybody's input and if you want a bit of fun then get one bought!!!! Gear4Music actually have a few of these at £113.00 which are clearly returns but just mad value for money.... Cheers Mike

If it's glued on like mine he's no chance lol. I wonder if he's chosen it or it's been given too him

Thanks Lozz

Just had confirmation from Tony this morning..... Pretty cool this and this £129 is out or was out on a European tour that included many festivals including Glastonbury!!!! Get one bought guys

It is a Gear4Music Chicago long scale and the Ronnie O'Sullivan face pic is covering up the logo. I've bought one and as cheap as it it it's actually great! I gigged with it on Friday and left my Ricky in it's case...... It sounded mint

It's actually a Gear4Music Chicago which sells at £129!!!! I kid you not I've bought one, restrung it and set it up and its a bit of a gem.... I play punk and used it through a TH500 into 2 TC Electronic RS112's and it sounded mint! My 4003 & my Nate Mendle are getting shelved for a while lol..... Ive added the Ronnie O'Sullivan headstock pic and it now has the racing stripes on it

It absolutely is a G4M!!!! I love it

You have very little to lose!

It’s arrived. I’ve restrung it (Fender 9050 flats) after adding my Ronnie O’Sullivan pic and it’s all set up with a newly oiled fret board. Guys I’m kinda blown away with this guitar for £129. It’s light, the frets are all rounded off and plugged into my Sansamp RBI it sounds incredible and really Punky. I get why Tony James has chosen this bass to tour with Generation X now. I’ve got some racing stripes on the way and the only thing I’m gonna change are the tuners for a set of Gotoh’s just to have a bit of stability. I own a Ricky, a Nate Mendel and several other bass guitars but I’m gigging this thing tomorrow night and here’s to many more nights with it for a bit of fun. I don’t know what pickups are in this but wow for the money 👏👌👍😂

I’ve ordered one at £129 😳😂 it looks the exact same to me and maybe why he didn’t admit to what it was…
