Great bass - suprisingly versatile
Hofner have made a very good bass for the money here. It's finish is superb from top to bottom. Between the pickup switches/knobs you can go all the way from a very deep reggae tone to a more percussive rock tone. Very happy with the sound.
The overall feel of the bass is something to note. The strings are quite close together, and with it being 30" scale length, it's a completely different feel to a standard 34" bass. If you have smaller hands, or don't like the normal stretch of a long scale bass, then this may just be the bass for you. Also, if you are after a lighter bass for long gigs, it's like lifting a feather compared to other solid body basses.
The intonation is really good as well. I thought I'd have trouble getting the intonation right, but the little pieces in the bridge come out and can be re-slotted to reduce or increase each string scale length which it works very well.
All in all, I'd recommend this bass to anyone.

Nice 500/1 without the high price
Very sweet tone (I installed flatwounds); consistently keeps tune; very nice fit and finish for the price point; very lightweight; very responsive vol/tone knobs; Installed aftermarket teacup knobs because I like their feel better. It truly is a lot of fun.
