Flemtone Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Man, I gotta tell ya - Zappa's music and arrangements do absolutely nothing for me except encourage me to reach for the 'mute' button. Nice looking bass, though. Play. Just play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcadmus Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Hagstrom? "Tours widely in the southwestern tip of Kentucky" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geoff Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I see where you're coming from, but it lacks the Hagstrom tailpiece. It does have, however, a very typical Hofner neck with white & black bar blocks, and the head MIGHT say Hofner on it. Framus, though, used a very similar neck. I have found a pic of an older Hofner guitar utilising the same body shape, control panel, pickup design etc. http://www.tdpri.com/threads/vintage-h%C3%B6fner-electric-guitar.293236/ Since this was recorded in London I presume in the '60's, the use of Hofner instruments would have been very likely.
