Now that's interesting.
In 1970 I had an old '60's sunburst hofner violin bass and I painted it black gloss!
They were very unpopular then, I think I paid £18 for it, or was it £28?
Now where did I put that receipt?

LOL - both great basses, but I can't help thinking the Hofner is more McCartney than the $$ !

Quite, yes! Although I usually have a very modern bass sound with the Status/Warwick & the MarkBass rig. This was a good opportunity to try the amplifier's vintage sound filter. Very effective as well. I also use this sort of setup for the Triumph upright.

Sibob, yes it sounds hugely better on the rounds. Like a more 3-dimensional sound at the bottom end & more of an old p-bass sound at the top. All in all, very satisfying.
