  • german efficiency at its finest

  • Excellent! I really enjoyed watching that:)

  • Love it - AND THE MUSIC!  Nice to watch without the horrid voice overs you get with 'How It's Made' on DC.

  • pity they  don't build something with a neck thicker than a pencil or a 5 string

  • YOU FOOLS!!! NOW I THAT I KNOW YOUR SECRETS I'LL MAKE MY OWN!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

  • Fun Tastic video. Thanks for posting. The only thing I note negatively is wrong notes in the melodies. For instance "Get Back" in the chorus. :-(

  • very cool

  • Great video, great craftmanship! But choose some better music instead of "elevator" style... :)

  • So skilled!

  • 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.
