Question by ricken325c: How is “Hofner Icon Series Vintage Violin Bass” which is 0, different from 00 hofner bass?
is it fake? copied by other brand? or lower quality hofner bass manufactured by “hofner”? It has been my dream to get Paul McCartney model bass and when I found this on the internet, I couldnt believe the price I was seeing.

The parts on the Icon series probably are inferior, and cheap asian labour used, whilst the $ 2700 would have been done in Germany using the proper materials. Either way though, Viola basses aren’t that great. I mean they’re short scale.
