Nope not me at least. This is the second week of the listing. He started it at 1300 and it didn't sell. As someone who just bought his new one for 1100, I'm interested to watch this one. |

If I had the cash I'd buy it for $1200. The seller's user name seems really familiar to me. Dan, you dealt with him before, do you remember who he is? |

I have wanted a Hofner Club ,well ,for as long as i can remember . After playing Fender P's and J's all my life ( playing bass about 35 years now , ) I have always wanted something a bit different ,and i always seek out and buy or have custom made anything different . The Les Paul single-cut body shape always got my attention , and i have had many a solid body LP shaped basses built in the past . When Hofner started re-issueing the Club ,i went nuts and nearly bought it, but at $2400 , for a bass i know would be a novelty and strictly recording item to me, just seemed a bit expensive at that moment . When MF started blowing them out at $1200 , that was my cue ,and three months ago i took the plunge ! Although a thoroughly great THUMP bass ,blues/early era rock , americana rock , "Chuck Berry" rock - this bass is the ultimate , but it is probably THE most fragile flimsiest lightest delicate instrument i have ever owned ,to the point , i hardly use it ,( used it three times now !! ) in fear i might just snap it into nine pieces , as i am used to the heavy feeling and stability and undestructableness of a fender !! A freind of mine recently purchased TWO Eastwood Club knockoffs - i forget what Roger / Eastwood calls them , , but man , for like $450 ,those are probably the best deals out there for a club or LP body styled bass there is , , a bit heavier, not as fragile feeling, great sound and all !! i have contacted roger at eastwood for the possibility of a lefty, as he seems to be a bit more in touch and sympathethic to us lefties, but so far, not enough demand , , perhaps we all should "lobby" his efforts, as that is one killer bass !! !! |

check out the DiPinto Belvedere ya'll! it is really an awesome bass - not flimsy at all and 34 scale -i have a pretty decent collection of everything from older fenders to roscoes and modulus and this bass is one of my top go to basses as of the last 2 years, and i play 4-6 times a week- real woody and tubby when need but can also really sing with the bridge pup soloed without sounding thin -and for $700 new (i got mine used for $475) they are a steal |
