Great looking bass, and I bet it plays and sounds divine! I have a German Masterbuilt Relic Club Bass and it sounds like heaven!

Looks great, have fun!

I'm up to 7, wow, didn't think I could do it but couldn't resist another! This time a Empire 58 Precision Bass in Heavy Relic Violin burst! 1. Mexican Road Worn Jazz 2. Mexican Road Worn Precision 3. 1971 RIC 4. 1962 Gibson EB3 5. Hofner Masterbuilt Relic Club Bass 6. Rock 'n' Roll Relics...

Star Trek Strange New Worlds episode 6 season 2 Lost in Translation has a Cantina scene near the end with a live band playing some cool tune, starting with the bass--what is it, synth, solid body or upright with pickup? I'm thinking real upright, sounds so good! But probably synth!

My German Hofner Club has Green Hofner brand flats. My old 1962 Gibson EB3 I bought used has Purple Flats--maybe these are Ernie Ball (after reading this thread)?

Oops, now I got 6! Still feels good, somehow-/ A Precision, a Jazz, a RIC, an EB3, and just added this Reluc Hofner 500/2 Club Bass;

Some German made new 500/2 basses have a Hofner logo on the front of body., upper bout. Is this a removable sticker or a decal under the clear coat?

Do most Hofner basses have 42 mm or 1.65 inch nut width? Is this the same for Ignition, Contemporary and Made in Germany models? So it seems just a tad bit wider than a Fender Jazz bass at 1.5 inches? Precision basses might range from 1.75 for Vintage ones to 1.63 for Modern model Ps. Does...

Does wider neck also mean wider string spacing?

Thanks, Doctor. I see I made a typo is my post, I meant to say "without" neck binding!

Question for Hofner owners: Is the current Ignition series the only way to get a bass without neck binding? I want a Club Bass, full hollow body (Made in Germany ) but without the neck binding

5 Basses 16 Guitars 2 Acoustics Seems normal to me!
