Well, it's got big love handles, and people with big love handles are often sweaty...

I like it except the knobs....... and the sweat. Nothing that new knobs and some Old Spice can't fix.

Looking at the other photos it looks like the Contemporary loses the neck binding and has different volume knobs than usual.

Last time I checked, they were mostly promoting pictures. There seems to be very few places the basses/guitars are being sold in the States at least.. Mostly in Europe, maybe ?

Knowing Hofner, it's probably about 4 or 5 grand. Probably would be nice with some darkstars in it.

Pretty, but I doubt I'd have the money for it.
