This bass really kills with awesome deep bass sounds. If Paul has played this bass for all these years Hofner must be doing something right. Not for slappers or poppers this gives a very close sound like a stand up bass. Paul bass is a 63 model but the only difference is this has 2 tuners on a strip where as the 63 has individual tuners. Great color and light as a feather. Highly recommend.
