Yes, I had to check that again. Looks like I posted a pic of the fretted version earlier. Fixed.

What's to explain?

Sire Marcus Miller Sandblasted V7 4-string FL Electric Bass Guitar - Ocean Turquoise Blue, Sweetwater Exclusive

I'd buy one if they put the bridge closer to the pickups, and the pickups closer to the neck, like McCartney's Hofner. 🤔

Dream with your head, not over it.

Not mine, but if it's still unsold when I get my income tax check... This is a custom model based on the Jaguar bass. The body is made of ash, the fingerboard of rosewood, and the neck of maple. It features both a PB-type pickup and a Music Man-style. Controls include a master volume, pickup balancer, and tone knob, allowing seamless blending between the PB pickup and the Music Man pickup.

Exactly. Always a good crowd at open-mic nights.

Most people will say the Classic Vibe is the better bass, but most people probably haven't even tried the 40th-Anniversary basses. I bought this one when they first came out and it's every bit as good as the CVs...I have to say the neck on this one is the best Squier neck made.

The tone switch is Series/Parallel switch.

VVT with a turbo switch.

These days, so many companies make good basses there's no need for me to even consider looking at something if it doesn't catch my eye. If I'm shopping for basses there's no way in the world that I'm going to plug in the one on the left if it's hanging next to the one on the right. Even buying online, I'm going for something special.

Better than tort.

I never believed in the "Every bass player needs a P bass" credo, but I still regret not buying this one. Never saw a nicer P bass in my whole life.

Go for it. It'd be nice with black hardware and some DR Red Dragon strings, but it's still nicer than a typical black Jazz bass

Sorry, but I forgot all about Fender when I discovered they weren't the only company making jazz basses.. I went with this and it puts to shame everything Fender's making. I definitely want another one.

Sorry, but somehow missed this. No, I don't have a 5-string but from what I've read numerous times elsewhere, they can definitely handle that extra string.

Thanks. Now maybe we won't have to see any of those ridiculous "Paul McCartney should buy Hofner!" posts.

There's a long, detailed answer that might seem somewhat convoluted, so I'll just give the short answer instead. No.

I'm a fan of relic'd basses and even though I haven't seen every relic'd bass made, I haven't seen anything with what definitely looks like a post-relic scratch like that. I would not be happy and I'd definitely contact them and ask for an explanation.

I can't remember where I heard it, but after the "Get Back" movie, Hofner sold 2 or 3 times more McCartney basses than the year before.

Guitars? I thought everyone associated Hofner with this. Never saw anyone playing a Hofner guitar.

I'm praying for the day every MIM costs $1,000 plus.

Too cool. I'd definitely play it...sparkle is special. Of course, I like these, too, so...

Sure, it would look better with a matching headstock, but it's much nicer than this monstrosity.
