Hoffbass

Any thoughts on this one?I've read that QC is not as consistent on the Indonesian 55-02 as it is on the US models, but this looks like a customised and limited issue, so QC must be more precise. I think it looks f..kin cool though. What do you think?

[quote name='gillento' timestamp='1496048136' post='3308293'] Roscoe offers different pickup location as well.They put the humbucker closer to the neck ( like musicman). Found a video with how roscoe does the stingray sound. https://youtu.be/IHfIn4oU10U That is what Carey Nordstrand did with his Nordy Dan Lutz Signature bass [/quote]

soon as I get the chance I'll try then report it back to you guys.Guess it's like a JO or Darryl J with alder body ( which I love). The only thing I miss is a tortoise shell pickguard...... or maybe I'm wrong🤔

My thought is that neither Lakland nor Sandberg etc...sound like a Musicman, simply because the humbucker positioned closer to the bridge. They got more upper midrange and bit more defined tone but sounds thinner than a Bongo or Stingray.Lakland 55-94,55-02 and 55-14 for me is a jazz plus.Great jazz sounds and a bit more with dual coils,but if you want that distinctive growly deep MM tone buy a Musicman.Both basses are excellent species though.Keep it mind,US Laklands hold their resale value just as Musicmans.Asian made basses, even if they are excellent instruments, do not really.

I like their Rock Light Dust Star album, still don't get why it was not popular and only sold few copies. Maybe their time is over?You can't bring back the 90's. Radio hits today different,people listening some strange mixture of 'boring singer-songwriters with lame cheesy hiphop guys' and 'musically zero "star" DJ's with teenager pop queens' ......Sad,no demand in the mainstream media for some quality music

I think this deposit with Paypal sounds ok and of course we must clarify every details about deal and transaction. Cheers guys!

Thanks, I'm thinking to buy a cool stuff from Europe. Usually when I buy something I try, so this would be a new thing for me.

Hi Bchatters, Could you tell me the process about a deal when somebody buys a bass from another country? I know it is mostly about trust and I'm asking with all respect to our community which I am proud to be a member of. How can you make sure about a smooth deal and what guarantee can you get when transfer money from your account to the seller? Thanks
