Features include a sustain block inside the body that makes for a modern deep resonating bass with superior sustain. Comes with the original H??fner (German made) 'Staple-Top' pick-ups, Zero Fret, Binding, Parchment tinted pickguard and control panel.

Reviews

Feature:
the only beefs i had was the original strings but thats a matter of personal preference. all of the materials seem to be of adequate quality. but there was no truss nut wrench.

Quality:
seems to be

Value:
competitive price as good or better tna others i have seen

Sound:
this bass seems to be well made. i owned a hofner 5000 club model and i would say that iniyail impressions are that it is as good if not better. i didn't care for the sound that the original strings provided so i replaced them with hofner flatwounds. the resulting sound was far richer and i was still able to get a very strong treble sound when i wanteed it. i have no complaints and would recomend this bass. the only question is durability which i won't know for quite some time.but as of now i am very happy with it

Ease of Use:
there was no manual...but hey. the neck is fast and comfortable. the control panel is like my hofner 500....that is it appears to be backwards, but i am used to that

Support:
the only beef i had was the absence of mention of a supplied case. i bought a bag for it and when i received it found that it had a case. zzounds offered to accept the bag as a return but i decided to keep it for another guitar that i have.

Overall:
so far so good
