I received this Hofner 500/1, which was originally made in Asia. It's a beautiful bass guitar, very well-finished and with the iconic look that collectors love. Sound quality: As soon as you change the strings to Hofner flat-wound strings, you'll get a classic, 5-star vintage sound. However, don't expect to use it for slap bass.
