Hofner V62 (case since upgraded to 'Bullet' style deluxe hard case);


Hofner 187 Shorty (one of only a handful known to exist):

2007 Club (Has it really been 5 years already since I bought this? Damn):

:

Those clubs are nice. Is that a CT or German?

It's German made. It's my understanding they only offered a small run of lefties in 2007, and it's estimated that less than 30 of these exist. Don't hold me to that though, just what I've heard. I don't believe Hofner has offered a left handed budget Club yet.

That's correct, only the violin bass is offered lefty in the budget models. I have one of those Clubs as well. I love it.

From Saturday's show:

Here's mine.... from left to right:

1968 Hofner 500/1

Early 1970's Hofner 182
(rare factory original lefty, probably a special order; notice that Hofner didn't bother to make a left handed neck, just used a right handed one-- but they did at least put the logo on facing up)!

500/1 CT Series

Here's me Club.

heres mine

the Club is also available as lefty in the cheapest line (it's 279,- euros) - only in sunburst

in the CT line you can have a lefty Violin Bass in black which is nice too

Do you mean the Club bass is available lefty in the Icon line? Got a pic?

Here's my 1967 500/1 which was converted from a righty.

Is there any difference besides cosmetics between the staple pickups and the bar pickups?

A lot of people think the 'toaster' style pups were the best Hofner ever made. I know there was a lot of discussion on the old (now gone) Hofner forum about them possibly having more windings than the 'staple' versions.

Ok here is my H-Serie

My Ignition.

Made a new pickguard and control panel, rewired to volume-balance-tone.

It's cheap but nicely built, I preferred the sound of this one over the higher priced Contemporary.

Here's my CT don't use it a lot, just for acoustic stuff but i love it!
