  • Non Hofner - ROGUE bass Beatle, Yes

  • @juanjosealva

    No Juan José. Es un Höfner. Lo compré en 1983, y su anterior dueño lo compró a finales de los 70.

    En el vídeo podrás ver que lleva unas clavijas no originales. Si lees todos los comentarios verás que ya se habló de esto. Esas clavijas las puso un amigo al que presté el bajo por una temporada retirando las originales. Posteriormente al vídeo, instalé unas de repuesto original Höfner.

    Cuando este bajo se fabricó, Rogue no existía.

    Saludos

  • somebody but Schaller tuners on that Hofner!??!??! Yikes!??!

  • @MartinSoundLabs

    You can read the history on previous commentaries.

    I lent the bass to a fiend for a while... and he put they.

    Few time after record that video I installed original Höfner tuner on the bass.

    Cheers

  • @MartinSoundLabs Your right about the tuners!there-ugly

  • @loyboy1979

    Yes, they were. Soon after recorder the video I put the correct Höfner tuners.

    Great, yes i didn't read all the comment history.. Good to hear she is back with originals. I gotta play mine more.. too many basses and guitars.....

    best from San Francisco

  • @enribass82

    I use rounds still!

    Well, you can see my other videos, with other Höfner 500/1, Höfner 500/2 (Club Bass), Höfner Senator, Framus Star Bass, Epiphone Jack Casady... all hollowbody basses and at all them I use roundwounds (no ultrabright!!).

    The flatwounds can be cool for some styles and it will fits ok with the Höfner, but I prefer roundwounds for it.

    And the black nylon... I don´t like for this bass.

    Good luck!

  • @Santi66 And now what string are using? Still round or flat? Everybody say flat are strings for this bass but listening to your...round gives more attack to sound. Someone uses the Rotosound black nylon for hofner... What do u think about? Thanks! ;)

  • @enribass82

    Thank you for commentary.

    At video the bass was strung with old roundwounds.

    Ciao!
