Fantastic Guitar, Awesome Quality and Sound
ElvenAndy 28.05.2023
I've had my eye on this Hofner Green Line for some time now after rocking an Epiphone replica of the classic Beatles Bass for 10-15 years, and finally picked up this H500/1-HGL.

The Green Line (the real deal!) is unsurprisingly better in every way - it plays effortlessly with crystal clear sound on all frets across all strings, and just plain feels nice. I've only practiced with it for a few weeks now, and I'm absolutely itching to get out and gig with it. The custom case that's included is perfect - with the abnormal body shape and higher bridge of this design, I could never find a case that fit my old bass (which was the same shape). I also love that it included a portfolio including photos of the folks at Hofner that carved and assembled the guitar! A great touch.

If I had to find anything to ding, it would be that the volume/tone knobs have no markings, so I had to add my own notches for setting levels. Seriously, that's the only thing I have to complain about, and I'm not even remotely complaining about that. :)

Thomann also exported the shipment from Germany to me in the US, and had awesome communication walking through the process of handling overseas shipping, customs, etc. Between the bass itself by Hofner and the service by Thomann, the whole thing almost felt like white glove service. I'm very happy with it all!

Best violin bass I've played
Anonymous 18.04.2023
I've owned a bunch of German Hofners, both vintage and reissue. This one is simply the best sounding of them. As always with Hofner, you can't know beforehand if its well-made. There is not much consistency in their work (the angles of the necks can differ widely etc.). But if you have the love for Hofner violoins, this is one for the connoiseurs. Beware though, that it will change colour, becoming much darker over time.

ist : Verarbeitung, Oberflächen, Holzauswahl das (leicht)Gewicht und überhaupt....
schade finde ich das sobald du etwas Höhen rein drehst es zu rauschen beginnt aber das lässt sich beheben.
