Yeah thanks for the offer but I believe they are different. That and the fact that if I tried to ‘adjust’ it, it truly would look like it’s been butchered - but with a fork!

Ooh I like the look of that. I contacted WD Music but they don’t do one for the Special HH yet. I’d have to send them a template. 🙄

I thought it was the stepson of Mr Gilmour who ......... EDIT - no, my mistake. As you were Anyway, well done Bryan!

Kevin Spacey taught me all I know....... 😳 Too soon???

I sent a head via UPS the other day without issue. In fact, it arrived at it's destination sooner than they (Interparcel) estimated it would.

Another one for ‘Stop the Cavalry’ here. Always been a favourite since I was a kid. For the bass line, it’s got to be ‘The Waitresses’

Ah, might be a bit of an issue then. I’m sure a local old school luthier would be able to sort it. Hofners of this era are notorious for the necks and bodies parting company at some stage during their lives. All down to the animal based glue they used apparently.

Sold an amp to Tony. Super fast payment and great communication throughout. Absolute top fella. Enjoy! 👍

Very nice. I had one of these many years ago but it was a little more battered! I’m not sure where you’re based but this guy did some work for Hofner when they took to remaking ‘as per’ the originals a few years ago (he’s even credited in the History of Hofner book). http://www.stuartsguitarworks.com/aboutstuart.htm There’s still a big demand for these from German collectors, I sold my ‘59 Club 60 to a guy over there last year.

Cheers @Reggaebass. I’m thinking of treating it to a Matt scratch plate. I am a big fan of them. Far more robust than the standard shiny finish.

I have the 4HH Special and had the 4H version, with a brief overlap where I had them both. To my ears the HH sounded no different to the H when set to the bridge pickup, which was a relief as I didn’t want to sacrifice that sound, just add to it with the other options the HH gives you. Gratuitous pic alert:

Looking good 😎

No way! Spent many a happy hour there in my younger days. Although I did have a not so happy encounter once when I went in years later and some of the 'long hair brigade' thought that anyone with short hair was trespassing and should be offered outside. Very sad news though.

Very nice 👍

These do look very tasty. I had a white one a few years back and I’ve been tempted by one of the red anni models before, but these look gorgeous 🤔

Alain kindly answered my wanted ad. Great communication throughout, item exactly as described, posted promptly and very well packaged. What more could you possibly want? Many thanks again.

Yes, on the product page go down to ‘Customisation’ and then select ‘Coloured Tolex’ you’ll find the option for the painted finish.

Not knocking the cab or how it will perform. Just commenting on the aesthetics and a preference for a logo. EDIT- ..........and just to make it clear, there are few bigger BF fanboys than me 😉

That’s probably the worst bass anyone’s ever had 😵
