This is my 4001S made in 2014 as a special run of 50 for The Guitar Centre finished in Satin. TD

I happened upon a used book store yesterday during my travels and bought a copy of Bill Wyman's "Stone Alone" for $4.00 👍. I've been looking for a copy for the last 10 years. TD

Heartbreaker by Mike Campbell. TD

The neck width at the nut on my 67 Vox Delta IV measures 1 3/8". It's such a cool bass but not a great player. TD

Phantom with a Tort pickguard and several on-board effects = Delta IV. TD

Classic Vibe FSR run from 2013 made for L&M only 185 made. Swapped out the P/U for a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder and new harness with CTS pots. TD

Very sad to report that Hofner GmBH is no longer. The staff have been let go. All manufacturing has ended. The company has been sold to Thomann and a investor. At this time it's unknown what will become of the factory. TD 😢

This is my 2016 Musicvox MI-6. Yes it's weird, but very cool. TD

Resurrecting an old thread. A few months ago I found and bought a second MI-6. This thing is so wacky and cool, and it plays great. TD

I spoke to a friend at Hofner regarding this. He said that the factory does place the label with the serial number and model inside the 500/1 Green Line basses. It's placed on the back of the of the body and viewable through all three holes when the tone/volume pots are removed. TD

Ah, that's right. My apologies! I must have had a seniors moment when I typed that. :) TD

There should be a serial number label located inside the body under the control panel. TD

This is my 2019 Musicvox Mi-6. TD

My first bass was a 1967 Sunburst Tele-Star TB-2 teardrop. This is it in the photo below. In a weak moment 20+ years ago I sold it and instantly regretted it so after 10 years of searching I found another one which I still own today. From this I moved to my Hofner 500/1. TD

My current count is 15. And I don't play anymore due to hearing loss but they're not going anywhere. TD

They're currently in bankruptcy protection which commenced on December 11/25. The courts have given the company 90 days to find new investors and return the company to profitability. If they don't then the court will force them to close at which point the company will become insolvent and cease...

You have a used German made Hofner 500/2 Club bass that's had its control panel plate changed to a blank one as well as having the gold tea cup insert of the bridge volume knob fall out. You can buy a replacement knob online, there's lots of online sellers offering them as well as a replacement...

I've owned a "Cavern" for many years so its configuration isn't new to me. I actually prefer its tone with both pickups on. It improves the voicing by increasing the mid-tones of the bass while maintaining the deep woody tone the neck pickup produces. In my opinion it's improved tone definition. TD

Well, with the news from last week that Hofner are having financial difficulties and are trying to restructure their company financially I thought I'd post a pick of one of mine. This is a 500/1-61-0. I sincerely hope that they're able to keep the company in operation for now and many years to...

I've been using Signia Charge N Go Hearing Aids for the past 5 years. Although I don't want to have to ware them, they make the best out of a bad hearing loss situation. Their phone app was the deciding factor. TD

For those who aren't really familiar with Hofner, electric basses and guitars are a small portion of their overall business. A huge part of their business is in the manufacturing of Classical Instruments like Violin's, Violas, Cello's, Double Basses, and Bows in their Hagenau factory. In order...

I hope that the family is able to find an investor (like a famous Beatle) who could provide the resources to turn this around. TD

My 2 Classic Vibe Precision's. 👍👍 TD

Classic Vibe made in 2019. I really like this bass. 👍 TD

My 63 & 61. TD

Yes, it's a German made Model H500/1-61-0. TD

grndtrg, Serial number 894051 was the 51st H-II-B-N bass made in production run 894. The run commenced in 1973 and concluded in 1974 producing a total of 250 basses. Yours would have been made in 1973. TD

I recently added this beauty to the gang. TD

Bought this Squier Precision a couple of weeks ago to have a Maple neck bass in the heard. It was made in the Samick factory during January 2019 in Indonesia. Not sure if it's a Classic Vibe or a Vintage Modified, but I like it :hyper: TD

Replaced my HCT500/1-CV Cavern with this beautiful new German made H500/1-61-0 Cavern. TD

I've owned and played Hofner 500/1 basses for decades and rarely have I ever played Beatles tunes on them. Sure it was McCartney back in the early 60's that brought the 500/1 to my and everyone else's attention but I just love the full woody tone they produce. This is my 60th Anniversary 500/1...

Sorry but not a chance. I did that once before and immediately regretted it. Took me 5 years to find my current 833. They are around but you have to look carefully and closely as most of them have not been cared for and are missing original parts. which are next to impossible to find. TD

mikeflav, the models in my photo above are from left to right; 833 - 743 - 833 all are from 1967. The 700 Series were solid body and the 800 Series were semi-acoustic (no center block). TD

3 of my 4 Kent Series 700 and 800 basses from 1967. I'm always on the hunt looking to add a few more with different finishes. TD

Well let's see now. The production notes run 604 as having taken place in 1964 producing 350 Kent PB-24-BG basses. This one was the 139th bass made in that run. There were a few different model names given to this bass back then but it was finally marketed as the Hagstrom-1B. TD

I just saw a photo online last week of Randy playing a H-II-BN. It was posted on FB. It's the only pic that I've ever seen with him playing one. TD

moproducer, you're correct that your Hagstrom 633379 was made in 1965. It was made in run 633 which produced 500 of them. FWIW the production records list run 633 as being Hagstrom Deluxe basses. TD

Both are 1967. TD
