Hofner 502 Limited Club Bass, They only Make 48 A Year?

[blue]

I have always wanted a real German made Hofner and recently purchased a new 502 Limited edition Club Bass.
I have wanted a Hofner ever since I first saw Paul Playing one back in the early 60s, however I did not go with the Violin Style body. For some reason Paul is the only one that looks cool with that style.

I have heard they only make 48 of these limited edition 502s a year. any truth to this?

By the way I own several basses and now it's hard to gig with anything but my 502, such a great feel and distinct sound.

Looks great, congratulations.

You look pretty fresh for someone who can remember the early '60s!

Great looking bass - I agree that not many can rock the violin shape and look good (Macca and Robbie Shakespeare are the only ones I can think of)

I'll be 61, still playing 4 hour bar gigs every weekend. It's not as easy as it use to be. I'm still having a blast.

Interesting not much attention from the ladies anymore, or not the right ones. Oh well.
