An awsome little guitar.
Alexander988 19.07.2013
I've only had my Höfner Shorty Bass BK for less than a week and I think I'm in love. This little bass is extremely well made. It is as elegant as it is robust. It comes with a nice well stitched gig bag which contains in it's front pocket a free cable and Allen keys to adjust the level of the fine tuning bridge and truss rod. Neither of these things was necessary on arrival as it comes perfectly set up with a very smooth action. I have tuned mine down to standard bass tuning (e) even though on a short scale it should be like having a capo on at fret 3. This means that it is very gentle on the fingers and so long as I don't play too hard it sound great. If I feel like doing some slap and ping techniques it needs tuning up to its optimal string tensions. The pickup is of a very good sound quality for the price. Over all I would highly recommend the Höfner Shorty Bass BK if like me you are on a tight budget and pressed for storage space.

very good for its money. very light and with good sound. there is a problem with the weight center due to the small body. the tuners are good and hold the tuning

Good travel guitar
Alan Struja 17.11.2020
After a few adjustments I was surprised. This guitar is good enough for travel and practice. Very light, less than 2.5kg, The length of the neck is 740mm and the thickness is 33mm but still very playable. This bass will travel with me regularly.

Super Find!

i do not know why those basses is not super popular.
for only 130 eur you get Awesome guitar, bag and a cable.
sure thing bag and a cable is not super quality but what do you want for that price?
It's worth every cent! Sure thing you need to adjust the Truss Rod and a string High but if you can do it it will be very good guitar. Sound of a bridge humbucker is just great. it sounds bright and sharp on full tone and dark and round on low note.
i think it is best guitar for beginners and folks that do not want to spend over 1000 eur on real bass. cause i do not think that you could buy better guitar ever for 400eur

Excellent

I bought this as a present for my daughter as my Bass is a little big for her. I had to plug it in and have a quick play and she is going to be very happy with it. The sound is great and it's very comfortable, the size will be perfect for my 8 year old.

The quality is actually quite high for the price and it looks like it should last until my lass is big enough for a full size bass.

In my opinion this bass is ideal for two things, children and travelling. If I was out on the road a lot I'd be taking one of these for sure.

I'm secretly looking forward to playing it some more myself!

Pros:

it's small, well built, ideal for beginners and sounds great.

Cons:

I can't think of any!
