Dad3353 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 My problem is that I already have one, otherwise it would already be here. Someone is missing out on a great instrument here. Shame on us all...

Rhythm Shack Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Hi. I may be interested in this. On paper it's what I want, but there doesn't seem to be anything out there as reference. No sound clips, no vids... I suspect that's the only reason this hasn't sold. Is there any chance you could post a video on YouTube so I (everyone) could hear what it sounds like. Cheers.

Cheers.[/quote] Hi I dont have the equipment or know how to do a video -- Us old guys cant even send a text message! Its a typical Hofner sound, Think Paul MacCartney, 60s etc and I would say its much more versatile soundwise than the Epiphone Rivoli and Gibson EB2 --More on a par with the Starfire and Hagstrom Viking semi Acoustics ( I have had all of these -- Still have the Hagstrom. ) Anybody interested is more than welcome to come and try it out -- No obligation! Anybody out there got any sound clips? Will. Will.
Rhythm Shack Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Hi I posted recently about video or sound samples for this bass. I still can't find a thing on YouTube but did have a conversation with a shop owner who assures me it sounds very similar to the classic Hofner violin bass. Which is good, as that's just what I'm looking for... I'm certainly interested in this bass but to be honest I'm a bit nervous about buying from a stranger (with all due respect). I usually buy from ebay because of the buyer protection, so this feels somewhat like a gamble to me. I hope you understand. Here's a few things I'd like to know; Do you have the original invoice? Does the bass come with any warranty? Is it in 100% good condition? Has it had, or does it need a set up? Is there a hard case? Could you tell me how it would be packed? Would you accept payment via PayPal? I hope answering all these questions isn't too much trouble, I'm seriously interested and I'm ready to buy...

Check your Messages. Will.[/quote] My apologies for any misunderstandings. It seems there was a PM but I received no notification of it (notification is enabled in my preferences, so I don't know why it didn't tell me...), so I didn't think you'd got back to me. It also seems I didn't read the ad properly. Unfortunately I'm nowhere near Leeds, I'm in Leigh on Sea in Essex. So collection is not an option. If you're willing to consider posting it though, then please get in touch. Thanks again.
