It's hard to separate classic 60s tunes and Höfner basses; there was a time when they reigned supreme. This is a modern reissue, made in China but to a very good standard. The flame maple top has a tasty subtle grain and boasts quietly under the cool antique burst finish. The neck is a classic Hof shape, so it doesn't taper like a standard bass but stays pretty slim and straight the whole way up the neck. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it has a certain charm to it. Tone-wise, this has that thumpy warm lo-fi thickness to it that'll slot right into vintage style tunes... tasty. It takes a particular cool cat to understand the glory of this, but to the right eye, this is certainly a thing of beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hofner 500\/7 Contemporary Verythin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade\u003c\/strong\u003e: China, 2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial\u003c\/strong\u003e: P0315B062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Antique Brown Sunburst, gloss poly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e: laminate flame maple, thinline, semi hollow w\/ spruce centre block, thin 33mm depth, 410mm across\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e: maple 3-piece neck, rosewood board, 16\" radius, 30\" scale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.170kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMods\u003c\/strong\u003e: none\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickups\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hofner Staple Nickel x2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hofner hard case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCosmetic condition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: minor finish wear.
