MGR/Anonymous « Hohner B2AV »
Published on 10/17/04 at 15:00I purchased this bass from a local music shop...I bought it becuase it looks and plays like heavan...I paid £325
I like the way in which the stained wood changes colour in the light, the way that the curves and feel of the unit and stunning. The tone produced becuase this is a thru-neck is fantastic...Every nuance from a high harmonic to a powerful low B is pleasantly exaggerated throughout the wood.
Also the playablilty, the horn-less design makes all frets available and the body is balanced very well...
It can be awkward to tune (even though it does not need to be tuned often), as the tuning turners get stiff and lock when not used. Although this is a good feature to stop the Bass being accidently de-tuned, it can be hard to tune.
The construction methods were obviously good as the body is well balanced, the wood looks good with the stain.
Also the thru-neck design coupled with the headless design makes the bass a good toned piece of instrumentation.
Finally, i think that this unusual bass is a fabtastic buy. I have not regretted buying the bass since i picked it up. And i would recommend a Hohner (Steinberger) B2AV bass to anybody with an interest.
