HCT-500/1-SB Contemporary : Simply a lovely bass

I've had this bass for about a half a year now and I have to say it is completely wonderful. The item arrived in good condition all the way to Latvia, despite there being some difficulties during the shipping process. The factory strings were great, but I immediately switched the strings to Pyramid Golds for that vintage sound and feel. It nails the original sound, but it's still really versatile if you're looking to play more modern tunes.

It plays absolutely great, my mother has recently started to play bass and I give her the bass from time to time since she says its so easy to play compared to her other bass.

I am a huge Beatles fan myself so I had been looking at Hofner basses for quite a while and then when the time came, I went ahead and bought this lovely contemporary version of the original. Paired with a mop top, it definitely makes you look like you play in a Beatles cover band.

I'd recommend this bass to anyone.
