Justin ?Justin ? who the xxxx is Justin....?
Anyway I'd disagree with the old gentleman above, I'd get the verithin, I think they are much cooler than the little biddy bodied Hofners that seem to be everywhere at the mo, if you're going to get a hollow body bass you may as well get a nice big old looking one...
I'd. Imagine the small club would have a very boxy sound about it too ???

I had a look at some reviews of the verithin, they also do a long scale version, which I quite fancy myself now... I'd definitely vote verithin anyway...

Fwiw, I’ve owned a hoffner icon violin bass and currently own a verythin. The verythin is more comfortable standing or sitting as it obviously sits flatter against the body. The violin style felt more resonant to me but they basically made the same sound. I’d let availabilty and style make your choice. JMJ or others may dissagree.

I have a club and a Beatle/violin.
I'd go with a Verithin because I don't have one. Yet.
