Has anybody any experience of these?

I think they look amazing, but I wouldn't expect much in terms of quality. Or could it be a Harley Benton-esque bargain?

Looks quite nice. I did have doubts about the all maple construction, could make a semi acoustic bass sound a bit weedy. But the Fender Starcaster bass has a lot of maple in it too and it sounds pretty sweet. Wish they'd make a 5 though.

That's a cracker. I owned the Harley Benton semi hollow,discontinued white version, and it was a decent bass. All maple too,very nice with flats or rounds.

I much prefer the layout on the G4M San Francisco,controls are in a sensible place. £40 cheaper,gigbag included :)

Would be sorely tempted by it if I was looking for another semi hollow.
edit
Just saw that's the Sale price, don't take too long deciding Yay or Nay.

Seriously? This style of bridge has been on Höfner's for decades. :)

Ah thanks it's hard to believe I've overlooked that! I was never a fan of [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]öfners (mainly the violin-shaped thingo that McCartney used) so never paid much attention to them until now. Ignorant of me, I know [/font][/color] :blush: [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I do like that bridge though![/font][/color]
