Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (96 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
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.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Real or copy, you decide."
Sound: The sound of the Hofner is very full and throaty,a great hollowbody sound. I play it through a 30w amp and it sounds terrific. Very warm and Beatley. The bass also has great natural sustain. Play with a pick or without you won't be dissapointed. Feature: The bass came with a wrench and a cord but no paperwork about the guitar at all. Ease of Use: the bass is comfortable to play and the controls take a minute to get used to, but fairly easy. Quality: I was very pleased when I unwrapped it and found such a well made quality bass. The finish was beautiful, above expectations. The nut backed off on the jack but an easy repair. Value: The price of the bass was comparable to others, but I felt it was a better product for the money. The Wow Factor: Anybody who knows of Paul McCartney will recognize this bass right away and find it very appealing to the eye. Overall: I plan on keeping this bass in my collection for a long time, it's a staple for Beatle music.
