ACRlon Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I was wondering if anyone could give me an info about my bass. [attachment=236371:IMG_20170105_193152528.jpg] I bought this almost 7 years ago now, wanting to learn bass and thinking it looked great. I discovered that playing fretless was a terrible way to start off, especially as I am quite lazy and need every shortcut I can get! Since then it has languished under beds and in cupboards. Does anyone know anything about Hoyer, and especially later basses like these - I think they used to reproduce violin and rickenbacker knock offs? I'm looking to get rid of it too, as an unused bass takes up to much space - does anyone have any advice as to what it might go for? Cheers, and thanks for any help!

bertbass Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I swapped my EB3 for a Hoyer in a music shop when we played in Munich in 1978. Brilliant bass. Wish I still had it. Can't tell you anymore than that really, Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1946 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 In the 60's I started with an Arnold Hoyer 12 string guitar and it was a pig to learn on, could drive a bus under the strings, not good for me so moved it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACRlon Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Thanks for the info, the quality on this bass seems to be fairly high, but I've not got much to compare it to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
