Whats the story on the Violin Bass in picture 1, is it a Hofner?

Heres a blast from the past, StMarys Billinge 1982 just come off stage, do the venues get any bigger than this !!!!! The fiddle bass was gigged quite a lot in them days.

I aquired a scratchplate for the Fiddle Bass, I think it just adds a little something to the guitar.......

Just for You.......

It does your right, but it plays lovely.......

Yes its a "one off" its a stratobassacaster, different I will agree..... 80)

Just in case You were wondering, You never know he might not of seen a '62 with the covers on........

Just added the Marlin Jazz copy, and not shown the Hofner Violin Bass....... and I am mightly jealous of some of the gorgeous Bass collections on here......

[quote name='markdavid' post='27868' date='Jul 6 2007, 12:21 PM']well despite becoming quite attached to my bass since doing some upgrades I would definately swap you my bass for your hofner anyday[/quote] As I inherited the Hofner, I dont think I could swap it as it doesn't seem right.....

Jay its a short scale semi acoustic, believe Me theres no weight in it at all Martthebass said:- "The Hofner deserves serious respect." And it certainley gets it, I would love to hang it on the wall in the front room but the wife blah blah blah.... Stingrayfan said:- "What are those Hofners like to play? Never tried one..." Simply superb it has a sound all its own Try it you'll like it........

Luke if we all liked the same things life would be pretty boring, I suppose its each to there own.

Hi Dan, I dont frequent wiganmusic as much as I did, but like to drop in now and then. I am chilling in Costa de la Orrell. Did you catch the Haigh gig I really like the Hicks I think they have the chance to do something Big.
