Pierre à la basse

Best value:
Excellent
Chinese-made, certified by Höfner Germany. 22 frets, 2 humbuckers, switch on / off for each microphone, a switch "solo" (boost liabilities), a micro volume, no tone. Channel very close, as the original, where a comfortable finish Thurs poor (traces of glue around), but assemblages satisfactory. Note a floating bridge, which, once set correctly, makes it imperative not remove all the strings at the same time not having to redo everything. Cordier voltage much more satisfying than all the copies. For the price, no complaints.
UTILIZATION
Handle very nice, comfortable hooping, action a bit high (payable after purchase). Ideal access to acute, but the bass does not invite the style "solo angry." Very good sound with strings better than original (the sound of McCartney). Low lightweight, you can play for hours.
For cons, I removed everything to resolve it "as it should" just after the purchase and put "real" strings (Rotosound net flat), not only were they too long, but I farted a more mechanical holding the strings ... A little disappointed, then, since I had to order mechanical original Höfner 50 euros immediately after purchase.
SOUNDS
To play rock and blues 60's - 70's is the top. But it can hardly be the only low of the owner, unless your name is Robbie Shakespeare, and that only the Reggae (why it is great too).
I play on an old Peavey TNT, which does the job, and I look forward to see what it gives on my Ashdown.
The sound is very very smooth, see deaf or heavy, but that's what I expected. In fact it's been years I'm looking for one like him and I have found on any bass.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it only for a few days, I like the look and sound real real Höfner, price, comfort gaming
I have already said, the mechanical fragility of disappointed me a lot (too plastic "cheap).
I tried other copies, always disappointing, and many other basses (I myself have 3 other basses).
This, I went to the store to try on purpose, and I'm left with!
Excellent value for money given the sound.
This choice I would do without hesitation, but I would go to a luthier before to buy plastic mechanical (I do not know what it's called) before tightening the strings.
