Very cool looking....is it 34" scale?

One more shot and the appropriate tourbus

I sure miss my '68 Bus Took out the bench seat and fit my keyboard rig and the entire PA inside. Slept on top of the bass bins.

+1 on the lefty version. I'd go for that in sunburst with no pick guard in a minute.

I think it's a good bass (but I'm still waiting for the Epiphone Rivoli reissue), however it's not the real Verithin! I think it's too much similar to the Eastwood Classic 4. I think that, as Hofner did with the 500/1 and 500/2, the Verithin reissue should be made with the same shape of the vintage ones.

SO... here we are a few months later. Anyone heard anything about the release/availability of these?

 

[Chrisk-K]

I'd rather buy an Italia bass.

$999 for an Indonesian bass?

I do dig the inlays.

 

[RonChase]

I own a Black Cherry Hofner Icon and a transparent green Icon,I have a few guitars and my guy(he hooks me up at dealer cost usually) he told me I can greb a verythin 6 string guitar for 350 bucks

That's LIST aka MSRP.

Street will be about 30 to 40% lower so say $600 which is par if the quality is there.

I have only seen 2 on ebay.
