Beautiful bass made in China by Hofner and is an exact replica of the legendary bass McCartney. Exemplary finish, neat. Pickups Höfner, handle great, violin and quality finish. For the entire presentation, finish ... TOP.

UTILIZATION

Channel narrow, easy to play. Easy to play like a guitar. Light weight, small size, comfort for a low. Nets with ropes course and a good amp, it can get very nice sounds that can approach the low type beatles (for fans). The low E string is a little unclear on the largest sound (can be flat with nets), but nothing nasty.
The presence of a bar inside the body (semi-acoustic less than the original model) can produce sounds closer to those of a solid body if they are seeking. McCartney playing the guitar on this ... ca does it well (question as to touch).

SOUNDS

Very good for 60s style etc. .. especially beatles (it's a low for the fans). You can get a sound close to that we love. Bein and others to other styles (where the interest of the fund "enhanced"). Personally I would have preferred a cash stripped of this bar to a sound even closer to the original. The rope half not very accurate in very low.

June 2007: the problem of the rope is tied to the middle of very poor quality of the strings fitted as standard. Just buy a game Hofner and everything is set. The bass is so frankly advantageous. It is the Inspector of the same page that had the info by the people of Hofner. Basically it's been a Hofner beatles bass to 600 euros.

OVERALL OPINION

It is not expensive and a Hofner. Copies have much point .. especially for a fan of the Fab Four. The game is perfect, the sound is correct and sufficient to have fun. The vivid details from the original, until the strap system for HOFNER (Hofner) with the transition between neck and body (one would think). It's a bargain!
