Had no idea there was so much hand-work in a Hofner bass - they are basically hand-built. Now if they could only update the terrible slanted control module - it looks like a Teisco or something.
amazing! spectacular! stupendous! incredible! bravo to the folks @ Hofner factory studio repair shop in Germany! very much respect to you ALL, cheers! x0]
ive just finished restoring a orignal 1965 they sound a whole lot better than modern reissues. as there are no ribs inside. among other reason i love hofner shame there near impossible to get a email response
@youbuckfutter A zero fret gives you better action at the nut, because it is the same height as the frets. The nut only holds the strings in place. You also get better intonation on the lower frets because the string is not being stretched as it might with a nut adjusted too high.
So skilled!

watching the way the frets are cut by hand and eye, no wonder the intonation on these is so bad. Beautifully made in every other respect...

I own a original 1964 Hofner Beatle Bass. I've had it since I was 14 (1982)
I wouldn't trade it for the world. Nothing sounds like the Hofner Beatle bass from the mid 60's.
I even paid to have the neck reset. The old ones eventually need this done.
I wanted better action & I got it.
Hope you all find this comment helpful.
Rock on Beatles!!
