Höfner Cavern Bass

[Matt R.]

Finally got the Hoffy I always wanted. Just sold my Euroburst (which I loved) to a board member, which helped me snag this '61 Reissue Cavern Bass.

Very pretty.

[Matt R.]

Thanks Tim. I even like the looks of the pickup spacing. Ha.

[tim]

Me too. Is that the primary difference from, say, a 500/1?

[Matt R.]

Well this is also a 500/1 but yep, other than some minor hardware and cosmetic differences, that’s the biggest difference. So far I like the tone better with pickup in the sweet spot.

Congrats Matt! Always nice when one of the chickens comes home to roost.

Indeed. I’m grateful to have snagged a couple of those chickens lately.

Hey Matt, Looks great! Just wondering when looking at the case what is the circle thing on the top of the case above the headstock?

[Matt R.]

It’s a hygrometer. Haha. Silly but cool.

Matt, that's just beautiful. I'm glad you're so happy.

[Matt R.]

Matt, that's just beautiful. I'm glad you're so happy.

Thanks man! And I’m glad you’re happy with the Euroburst.

Wow Matt, that’s one great looking bass! I’ve never really been a Hofner fan, but this one is the business, and has opened my eyes! Congrats!

Thanks, it’s a work of art. Most of their stuff is!
