He he, thank you, but is not too old! I bought it from Ishibashi-Japan in 2007, and was built in 2004/05. Pickups are replacement Fender Original Made in USA and pickguard is a Fender Japan replacement too (the original was a crappy 1-ply white). :)

Last gigs i'm playing with the low end Hofner: a very few people suspects with the proper strings this is a little bomb!

Nice pair of basses


What kind of customizing did you do to the Hofner?

You don't really need much more than these two (or any Fender/hollowbody combo) to cover 95% of all gigs.

All reversible:
- Hofner strings
- White plastic strap buttons
- Pickup height slot german screws
- Bridge pickup reversal
- Pickup holding black german screws
- Hofner truss rod cover flat german screw
- Hofner teacup knobs
- German type pickguard bracket
- Truss rod cover with removed writings
- Pickguard bracket holder

This is his sound:
