foxton4001 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Has anyone got one? Any opinions on these guitars? Seem like a good deal with a hard case + Teacup knobs + the pick-up spacing is similar to macca's first hofner (which I prefer). I have tried both the cheaper hofners (icon and contemporary) and the epiphone viola and didn't think much of them. This looks like its made in the icon factory; [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Violin-Bass-Guitar-including-Free-hard-case-Icon-Series-VVB4SB-New-/230951814051?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item35c5cd03a3"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Violin-Bass-Guitar-including-Free-hard-case-Icon-Series-VVB4SB-New-/230951814051?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item35c5cd03a3[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 That's £299 for a cheap copy of a cheapish copy ... For that money, personally I'd prefer a 2nd-hand Icon with the Hofner logo on the headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Or a brand new Hofner Icon from Thomann with the same case in the deal cheaper http://www.thomann.de/gb/hoefner_ignition_beatles_bass_v_bundle.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxton4001 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 To be fair, the german ones are fairly cheap at the moment, its probably better to save up for one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
