zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Sweet and affordable Replica of McCartney's Bass"

Sound: It has a nice rich, deep tone, with great setting thru the stitches. I have some minor fret buzz to take care of, but other than that, I see no complaints. The sounds are crisp, deep and clear. I am replacing the strings to better ones today, altho if Zzounds carried them I would like to have gotten some LeBella Deep Voice Beatle bass strings. Feature: The Hofner Bass came with a decent case, which did have some marks upon opening, so I know it will protect my bass. It did during shipping. It also came with a cable, altho it is just a beginner cable. Ease of Use: I think this is where this bass really shines. I am a guitar player, and wanting to learn more bass riffs. Upon picking this bass up, I was impressed how light it was - no more shoulder strain. Also, since I don't have the longest fingers, the neck is a treat! The neck is remarkably thin and easy to work. Someone that really knows a bass would be all over this fretboard with ease. I hope to soon be there. Quality: I find absolutely no flaws in mine. All parts are well fitted, and the finish is beautiful. The Sunburst finish is beautiful, and I see no scratches in the clearcote. This bass looks stunning sitting next to my other guitars - I am proud to show it to friends. Value: I love the Beatles, as well as many other pop bands of the 1960's and 1970's. That made me consider this bass. The fact that it sounds so nice, is so easy to play, and is light on my shoulder are bonuses, making this a sound buying choice. I would highly recommend, especially at this price. A friend that is more into the heavier metal sounds said he wanted to try those sounds using this bass! Manufacturer Support: I haven't needed support, so I cannot penalize the company by rating it low here. The Wow Factor: This bass will be noticed by all. It is beautiful! Overall: I am glad to own this bass. If it were stolen, I may consider upgrading, but as long as it works, I plan to keep it. I would eventually like to get a Ibanez bass as a supplement, but not replacement.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Hofner Beatle Bass, only one.."

Sound: I have been playing bass for many years and all my guitars have been Fender but this Hofner is great sounding with a rich deep low and nice highs. Has many different sounds from using the switches and amp. I would change the strings to a nice flatwound but would not change another thing. Feature: Came with a neck adjust tool and cord, would like to see a booklet or info on the making of this nice guitar. Ease of Use: After many years with a Fender bass, this Hofner is light and short and very easy to play with great sound. Quality: This looks to be a very well made bass, the crome was all great looking, had a very nice rosewood neck with very nice finished frets, the finish of the Hofner was fantastic looking with no nick's or dings or rubs. This bass looks and will be a very reliable road bass. All parts are very nice and looks like time was taken to make this bass with very nice workmanship. Value: This is a fantastic playing, looking, sounding Hofner bass with a great hardshell case fot 400 bucks, what more do ya want??????? Manufacturer Support: Dont know as it works great... The Wow Factor: This is a FANTASTIC looking very well made HOFNER BEATLE bass, it is like art work with it curves and finish. A one of a kind and I have alwayd wanted one and am very happy, what more to say..BUy yourself one. Overall: I will always keep the Hofner art work. If you want a Beatle bass, then but the original Hofner and not a copy. If I ever lost this great bass, I would find another quick.

Style of Music: ROCK BASS
