Just got mine. 1- Zzounds has an amazing costumer service.2-Suprise while unpacking: actually the bass is SMALLER that I was expecting! AMAZING!;3-Amazing because sounds good. Hofner keeps some standards.3-Super solid, real wood;4-With the bag you're gonna feel like caring a small Martin Backpacker acoustic guitar;5-Sounds deep without too much resonance as a Honfner but, not too deep as a violin bass;6- PERFECT to travel;

Got it today, and i could not believe the ease of play. I have 3 other bass guitars all of which I have trouble with. But with this little guy I am able to hit the notes that I use to with my old bass. For those who have a disability and mobility issues with your hands, All I can say is problem solved!!

This bass is very playable. Hand slides nicely up and down the neck with ease. Sound is great and steady. Nice and compact as well. great for those that travel like myself. Love practicing with it every evening.

This bass is perfect for a home studio where space is at a premium. It's very easy to play and it sounds good too. The materials and workmanship are also very good.
