    The tone switch is Series/Parallel switch.

    VVT with a turbo switch.

    These days, so many companies make good basses there's no need for me to even consider looking at something if it doesn't catch my eye. If I'm shopping for basses there's no way in the world that I'm going to plug in the one on the left if it's hanging next to the one on the right. Even buying online, I'm going for something special.

    Better than tort.

    I never believed in the "Every bass player needs a P bass" credo, but I still regret not buying this one. Never saw a nicer P bass in my whole life.

    Go for it. It'd be nice with black hardware and some DR Red Dragon strings, but it's still nicer than a typical black Jazz bass

    Sorry, but I forgot all about Fender when I discovered they weren't the only company making jazz basses.. I went with this and it puts to shame everything Fender's making. I definitely want another one.

    Sorry, but somehow missed this. No, I don't have a 5-string but from what I've read numerous times elsewhere, they can definitely handle that extra string.

    Thanks. Now maybe we won't have to see any of those ridiculous "Paul McCartney should buy Hofner!" posts.

    There's a long, detailed answer that might seem somewhat convoluted, so I'll just give the short answer instead. No.

    I'm a fan of relic'd basses and even though I haven't seen every relic'd bass made, I haven't seen anything with what definitely looks like a post-relic scratch like that. I would not be happy and I'd definitely contact them and ask for an explanation.

    I can't remember where I heard it, but after the "Get Back" movie, Hofner sold 2 or 3 times more McCartney basses than the year before.

    Guitars? I thought everyone associated Hofner with this. Never saw anyone playing a Hofner guitar.

    I'm praying for the day every MIM costs $1,000 plus.

    Too cool. I'd definitely play it...sparkle is special. Of course, I like these, too, so...

    Sure, it would look better with a matching headstock, but it's much nicer than this monstrosity.

    Not a grey-burst fan, but that thing looks pretty damned good to me.

    That's what I was hoping to find out after typing "Antigua etymology" in the search box. 🤔

    Had a chance to buy one back in 2015, more gold than green, but waited too long and someone else jumped on it. I really like the Coronado.

    Canadian price. I'm guessing it's even worse in Australia.

    Call me crazy but I only buy basses I actually like. 🤔 (Yes, even the ones I've bought without trying out first.)
