As a Beatles fan I was skeptic about the Hofner CT500/1. But oh surprise, it's beautifully built and finished. I replaced the Knobs also available in Music Store Professional ( Höfner H909/15 Gold Top Knob) is looking really good. The color is exactly what I expected (not orangy like in lower models, rather elegant tobacco) just like in the pictures of the Fab Four. The sound is amazing a mix of classic and contemporary sound. The delivery was fast and always able to track it. I recommend buying in Music Store professional the Hofner 500/1 Violin Bass as an excellent affordable instrument for any style of music.
