At that price I would absolutely put a P-bass pickup in the bridge position, that would make for a fairly versatile and punchy bass. My instinct is that I would even want to go gigging with it but I'd need to try it before committing to going that far. Thanks for the cool review.
I bought a hofner ignition a few years back. I don't know why it comes with roundwounds. The first thing I did was put flats on. I don't know how the sizes of your other 2 basses are compared to the ignition but that shorty seems tiny. Recently I figured out that I'm way better using a plectrum on mine. I don't know why I said plectrum. Anyway, off to the shaving video. Edit: where the hell am I? This isn't sinatralennon. Off to find you elsewhere.
I have one of the older Hofner Shorty travel bases. Love it for what it is. Wish the soft case that came with it had better padding or that they offered a hard case for it as an option. What kid of case comes with the new Hofner shorty?
Thanks for the viD. I have 30 basses and promised my wife I wouldn't buy another one,but I love and have short and micro scale basses. Shhh! I'll sneak it in the back door while she's distracted watching The Bachelorette
Hey Brian, I know you posted this video a couple of years ago.... but I bought one of these yesterday and am over the moon with it, it's fantastic. I just wandered what replacement strings you have to put on these, are they special shorter ones or can you put regular ones on and just cut them down? Thanks in advance.
Do you happen to know the exact string lenght from the ball end to the saddle? I've got some shortscale LaBella flats lying around, I thought I'll buy a bass for them. Thanks.
I’m sorry, I don’t and I’ve since sold this little bass because I never played it. I love how you’ve got some strings and need to buy a bass for them! That’s so great.
Yes, I’d buy an Ignition or Contemporary. Both good basses and I’ve owned and played them both. I sold them only because I have the two German made 500/1’s.
Cool bass... and you are a better bass player than a lot of guys I hear demoing basses on the tube.
Great to see you back!!
Glad your back !

LaBella is a very good brand for short scale flatwounds. Apparently their Danelectro set is really good.
Imagine if Paul used that during a live show. (keep up the awesome vids)

I forgot to show it, but it’s also a soft case little big bag with a shoulder strap. Not bad.
Great to see your back
I can only see his front!
A great replacement for the earlier modern looking Shorty bass.
Sounds awesome Sinatra!!
THE RICKENBACKER MAN IS BACK!!!!!+
I’m BACKER!
this would be a perfect project bass to swap the neck out with a ubass size and stick flatwound strings on
It wouldn't work. The scale length of the Hofner is 30" whereas the scale length of a ubass is normally no more than 21"

sounds pretty dang good
you’re back!
Return of the King
He's talking about a bass and all I can see is him sending me on a quest to summon the Basilisk
Oh, it’s you Wizard….
Very nice! What Vox bass amp are you using!
Is the neck pickup as far from the bridge as your other basses?

Awesome video and great personality man, new sub 👍
Rob from Suffolk here. The mike myers mask made me jump lol
Where does it say that bass is made in? Thanks!
I didn't even know Josh Hawley played the Bass 🤔
Lots of kids tune in for this.
What size flats did you put on it
nice!
Please can you tell me the precise dimensions of the bass in cm ? Thanks
OMG
I miss your Rick 325 C 58 blonde
Me too!
Can you review that cavern bass?
Would you recommend a cheaper Höfner Ignition bass rather than this shorty? The neck dive should theoretically be better on the ignition.. right?
Yes, I’d buy an Ignition or Contemporary. Both good basses and I’ve owned and played them both. I sold them only because I have the two German made 500/1’s.
@@jaintly Thanks!
How much does this weigh?
Bro the mask in the back :p
Is that shorty a hollow body?
Your Mike Mayer really scare
Anybody else here from his other channel? No? Doesn't look like it 🤫
You better watch out for that guy hiding in the closet behind you.
Leave Jamie Lee Curtis alone, we don't need anymore sequels!
Can ya shave and play bass at the same time !?LOL
hmmmm i wonder if this video is sponsored.... 🤣
Only by my own wallet. I ended up never playing it and sold it to someone who will! Love me some Hofners though. I WISH they’d sponsor me!!
The bridge doesn't match the bass.
Yup you're not a bass player haha ... nice vid
Nice..at ruclips.net/video/MineWuLiMLI/видео.html heard that "shoot-me" Come Together riff.
