WRITTEN IN JANUARY 2007, BUT LITTLE TO START VS WORD TO SAY THAT I HAVE POST A COMMENT IN THE NOTICE RE ISSUE 63 IN 2011 YOU SHOULD READ IF YOU ARE A GEEK THIS LOW? A + + +

Hello! I am Inspector Van loke

This bass has everything you are looking in the HOFNER violin (this is a normal HOFNER) handle very comfortable with her size 22 frets, wilkinson 4 lifts, 2 microphones HOFNER original floating bridge and tailpiece original system switches specific Höfner, beautiful sunburst finish color on the table, back, sides and back of the handle, the wooden ribs are tight and regular, it's really very beau.les plastic pearl is also very nice and does inimitables.Cette low not a fully hollow body like its predecessors of sixties.L instrument remains very light thanks to its thin and compact dimensions that make the charm.
It is full house here.

UTILIZATION

Channel parfait.On can do amazing things a musical level, both in technique and in expressiveness. Access to acute is completely unfettered by the shape violin, which offers great playability, thanks to the extent Notes offered to the musician.
The sound is smooth, treble feutré.Dans it becomes dry, but without being aggressive and keeps its chaleur.ca is quite the sound that one instrument research ect.
The switches offer very SPEED tweaks, more or less dull or bright depending on the selected combinations.
Major weakness: The CORRECTNESS at the lowest string mi.C is quite annoying, I can fix it while playing but it's irritating, it puts a little pressure if ever it should used for a session in the studio, however, it must be possible to solve it by luthier.Peut be is this a problem of shrinking, the nut or bridge? I have not found and it bothers me.
why I got fired over this, because an instrument must be fair (whatever its beauty) without having to go in a studio setting after purchase.

SOUNDS

The sound is exactly what I am looking for a warm and cozy limit deaf, some titles like the Beatles for example ("something", "dig a pony", "come together" etc. ..)
Two sounds emerge as major choice: deaf or a little brighter.

Despite the problem of the E string quickly returns to the mat, it keeps me really get the best and enjoy it, because I require at this level.
It's really the only flaw, this bass was perfect otherwise.

OVERALL OPINION

My choice was made for this bass first because I suffered my influences: I am a beatlemaniac, and I wanted to explore new sounds, new violin (which is very successful here), the HOFNER was unavoidable.

CONCLUSION: Low very easy to play, beautiful finish, nice sound, but the setting has innumerable copies revoir.Cependant innondent that the market can return to the closet.

I would do this choice? yes it is a lower than correct!

goodbye
It was Inspector Van loke.
