I can call out lots of 'name bands', but they are names to me and the style music I listen to. All the Hofner bands are styles I do not listen to. This is perfectly normal for people to have different experiences.

I think I took it to BassBros... -
I find I become familiar with what I listen to, or what people tell me. For example I now know a lot about Mark King... 😁

Double post.

You have demonstrated perfectly my point thank you - I have never heard/seen of these.
-
I've noticed a lot of stock in some places (e.g. BassDirect currently have 19), it does seem to me to be a niche brand I never see used outside of Beatles cover bands/collectors walls.

I don't know what gear I will have next week let alone in June... but most likely: Dingwall ABZ Ashdown RM800 GR 212
-
I've put an MTD humbucker in my Z3, it wasn't hugely different in tone (maybe a little more bottom end/clarity), but it looks so much better with wider pole spacing:
-
If I remember correctly - there's a Seymour Duncan preamp inside rather than stock one :).
-
I saved this bass from CashConverters a few years ago, lovely instrument
-
Never had a problem with mine, looks the same distance as other Dingwall models to my eyes.

I had one of these, and the ONLY reason it went was to get a custom shop ABZ. Would have quite happily kept it for years otherwise. -
Big oof. Good luck with the sale - someone will get an amazing instrument. -
Kept as a backup for my RM800 for a while - now too big for my new cab. In reasonable condition, works great except for valve drive circuit which is noisy/scratchy when blended but does function hence low price, could just need a new 12AX7. Now free to collect, it's that or a charity shop. Collection only, Bromsgrove (M42/M5 junctions). -
Flipping basses for profit – fair game or not cool?

That said, i've also many times bought something because I know it was underpriced and I could definitely at least break even. I've always played them for a bit to see if it works for me (with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions), but as I look at the rack, none of them are still here.
