Retro bass with the full scale

I'd previously owned the verythin short scale bass because it came with the classic intonation issues that these basses do (never bothered me but I did a session with a producer who moaned all the enjoyment out of owning it!). I was online one night when I saw Hofner did this long scale version and my wife actually said straight away "just buy it!" So I did and have never looked back. Amazing tone and finish. It does what you'd expect of a semi acoustic bass. A lot of fun and great value for the money.
