Great inexpensive version of the Classic Hofner bass

The look is amazing, It feels great, is precise on its tone.

It doesn't have the traditional hole between the neck and body where the strap can pass through, but it has a typical screw where you can clip you strap.

The original strings are no the best, so I changed it for a Rotor string ones, and it sounds amazing.

It has the typical sound of a hofner, with a bit of attenuation on the high end.

In general is great, I loved it.

It was delivery to Mexico in about a week and a half.

Just what i wanted.

I am a smaller guy so I like to use short scale basses. I bought this on a whim and straight out the box it's look's amazing. It's so light and feels very comfy in your lap. It does need a setup, but beside that it sounds great. It doesn't have no tone control but that's what an amp is for. I expect many people who buy this bass, does so for a specific reason but it capable of a lot more. I can say now that I am a Hofner fan.

Dream come true

As a Beatles fan I'm glad I got that bass. It sounds and looks great, and I'm excited to learn to play left-handed.

Perfect bass at a reasonable price!

I've had this product for 6 months and I have no complaints.

Sounds amazing, true vintage tones of a hofner bass, you can get really old school sounds out of this thing, and maybe some fresh new wave psychedelics too!

I recommend this bass to any lefty that wants a really good bass thats different and cheap!

Nice lefty short scale

Love the spruce top on this one, 'though it's most probably a laminate of some sort. I have owned violin basses from Rogue and Rondo Music and this one feels like a better made instrument for sure.

If you caught the shorty scale bug and like the woody tone of these hollow body instruments, by all means, succumb to the little beast with abandon. :o)

Great bass

I was very impressed with the quality of the bass, good finish, great sound. it did need some adjusting by a luthier to improve the action but now it is really nice to play. Excellent for the price, highly recommended.

Good value

Good value for the money. I needed this kind of bass guitar for a Beatles tribute band I'm playing. It sounds and feels as expected. If you're into Beatles or '60s rock 'n roll, this bass is for you

Blown Away.

as a left handed fan of The Beatles, I knew this was the bass I needed. extremely light and versatile, goes from 60's stuff to punk amazingly. Lovely fast neck. The jack input has fallen out once and gets quite loose and i have a few difficulties downtuning. Other than that, AMAZING bass.
