I got my new Hofner Violin Bass in sexy black today, made a vid of me messing about, see if you can spot the well known Bass lines ;)

The Chinese strings are rubbish Ive already ordered a set of flats to replace them with.

My PC won't play your video so I can't hear what you're playing but I'll be disappointed if The Chain and Seven Nation Army aren't amongst the tunes.

I've never been a fan of the Hofner Viola basses but that looks quite nice. How does it play? The action seems to be stupidly high on the ones I've seen.

The action is brilliant mate, straight out of the box, just crappy strings !!

Excellent! There's nothing worse than crap strings.

I won a Trace Elliot cab on Ebay yesterday, just gotta go pick it up. 50 quid, bloody bargain!

Nice looking bass mate...

Have never played one of those though. Ditto heard things about the action, but great that yours is good.

They're very nice to look at.

Played bass for a couple of years during my teens. Managed to snap the E string twice...took that as a sign to give up.
