Hi folks. I've been playing on the electric side of the bass fence for a good 21 years now and have always wanted to get into the upright- but the right bass has never really popped up. Knowing next to nothing about what makes a "good" bass doesn't help- and means I need to rely on old hands for advice.
Anyway,
this popped up on the 'bay. It has a repaired crack on the front which has apparently been professionally reglued to the body.
It's near me and I can go and check it out. I'm also after more information on who did the repair so I can quiz them further.
This is a great price in Australia. (<$1000 is unheard of for decent quality). Is newish Hofner a respectable brand?
Do we think this would be a good beginners bass or is it asking for trouble?
thx, Vin.
