    Hofner 500/1 CT Violin Bass Finish cracks

    So far nothing other than the neck spacing with the body looks like hack job work compared to other CT products

    Violin Bass sound qualities and which to buy..

    If it weighed practically nothing and it was Hofner brand then it is indeed vintage or a reissue both reissues and vintage cost about the same $2000-$3000 But if your looking for a cheaper version but same tone go for a Hofner High bass series or Hofner Contemporary series
