Title: NBD!
Post by: bcalla on March 27, 2016, 04:59:21 PM
New Bass Day!  Got a great deal on a Hofner Verythin on CL.  Sold an old Aria bass to fund it.

I'm as happy as a kid with a new toy, even though I'm an old man with a new toy!

Nice, that thing looks great. Love the fret markers. Is it short scale?

Yes, they list it as 30.3".

Very cool. Is it old or new made to look old?

It's a remake of a bass that Hofner made back in the 60s, but this one was made in 2013.

I forgot to mention the best part - it weighs about 6.5 lbs.  My 5-string weighs over 12 lbs.
