    Höfner files for insolvency

    I just saw where Hofner is filing for bankruptcy. They will continue to produce instruments while they search for investors.

    2012 MIM P-Bass. Is this rosewood or pau ferro? Personally, I don’t care, but I’m selling it and have been asked. I’ve also been told both!

    Info needed on 500/1 switch settings

    All's well that ends well. I had installed the new panel in, 180° off! I had also watched a you tube video that featured a left handed instrument (there are no left handed control panels!) so that screwed me up. Once I reversed the panel, I still had to reverse the pickup to pot connections...

    curious as to how to go about grounding the bridge on a 500/1; run a ground wire to the endpin jack?
