I purchased my Hofner Violin Bass 500/1 online from Barry Clark in 2021, with flatwound strings. As I ordered it with white slider knobs and it was delivered with black slider knibs and there were some other problems he gave me a significant refund, even more than I asked for, and I consider that good customer service! To be honest I like the sound and the weight and the playability of that bass guitar better than my Cruise bass with round wound strings. YMMV. Gabe 😀

Nice, but posting a price is mandatory.

Waiting for Chris Matthes M3.......

But I have seen it several times also, and the temperatures her vary from 31 degrees of Celsius (88 degrees of Fahrenheit) during the day to 26 degrees of Celsius (79 degrees of Fahrenheit) during the night...... Gabe. 😀

And on the Eric Johnson Strat the first tone pot is for the neck, the second for the bridge, middle pickup does not hava a tone control. Genius idea. But it is only one small jumper wire to have the tone control also work for the middle pickup, if so wished. Gabe 😀

That is exactly how I wired my 2004 Fender CS 50th anniversary Stratocaster. 97 % of the time I am using the bridge/middle position with the neck dialed in 50 % for a nice quack, or the neck only Wired this way it is just a flip of the pickup selector switch Wired differentily as a complete blender pot the bridge would be added when switching to the neck position, and that is not what I want Good blender pots are available from Lindy Fralin, with waring scheme Not expensive Gabe 😀

How about an Xotic SL-drive into a Fenderish (clean) amp? can that give a convincing Marshall sound? Gabe 😀

Amp sounds great! Gabe 😀

Thanks for sharing, nice read. Gabe 😀

That was a great watch (and it is from The Netherlands)! To me the 1954 Stratocaster sounds and looks the best. Gabe 😘

Great looking guitar. Undoubtedly will sound great, too. Gabe 😀

My ringtone.... Gabe 😀
