    Hofner-(not just Beatle Basses)-Group Part 2

    I have one of these. They came with basses in the 80s and early 90s. I have one that came with my early to mid 90s reissues. I don't think it's from Selmer, though. Even Hofner doesn't know who made them. Same case but black interior. Its a tough case and thr moat durable of all ive owned...

    That's where the intonation is perfect. No tan lines and the pickguard installs perfectly so it must have been in this spot since it was made in rhe 90s.

    I put some tapewound pyramids 9n this one. These feel more clothlike than other tapes. They sound good but the jury us still out.

    That's a real vintage KSP/ Staffordshire cup. I almost got a new one, but the design on those isn't even close. I held out until I found one.

    Greco Gang! - The Officially Unofficial Greco Club

    Nice collection. Hofner did make some Greco branded basses for a short time in the late 80s. They were indistinguishable from other Hofners except for the headstock logo. They came with blade pickups and were made in Germany. That isn't to say all Greco- violin basses of that period were all...

    To clarify, North Coast music has had that on their website for years. Truth is, Macca hasn't used Labella in about 20 years. He's been using Pyramids steadily since.

    Paul McCartney's stolen original Hofner found? Hofner says so!

    Too much history to do another refinish. I think it should look the way it was when stolen. Most footage we see of Paul using the bass was as it is now minus the damage. A refinish will take away its Beatles historical significance.

    Rubbing alcohol will the it off. Try something higher than 70%

    The Rickenbacker Club Part Twelve

    I have a set of TI flats on my 2021 4003s. They are not cheap, but they last forever and the quality can't be beat. They are very low tension, so they take getting used to for some,but once they break in,they sound so buttery and warm

    It's funny that I got that cup in the pic because it reminded me of the one seen in Get Back. Then I tracked down the actual exact kind after I took this pic. Talk about embarrassingly hard core into the Bestles. Lol
