    NBD - 1979 Hondo II Pro MIJ

    Picked up this made in Japan beauty for $200 today. It’s a 1979 Hondo II Professional, and it’s super clean for being 46 years old! From what I could find they were made by Tokai / Motumoku and only in production for a few short years so pretty rare. I’ve got it strung up with flats for that old...

    Hondo? Good beater bass or hit or miss?

    One person on here said something one time about if Hondo brand bass guitars weren't good beaters, they still wouldn't be here today. I found that to be an interesting insight. What does the TB community think of the Hondo brand? Can anyone tell me anything about them or post any pictures of...

    Questions for Rickenbacker Copies

    I've been looking into the vintage Japanese copies for Rickenbackers (4001/4003) for the past few months now, and I'm curious if others with any information can provide some more info on the quality of them. For the most part, I've seen the general consensus being fairly good for a clone and its...

    Just got this 30” short scale Hondo Deluxe Series 808 off of Craigslist for $100, including the case. Needs some work (the brass bridge will hopefully clean up nice with some brass cleaner, needs new strings, etc) but I’ve been looking for a fun travel bass and this fits the ticket.
