Do you have a local teacher lined up? If so, ask that person for advice before buying anything. Plus, it's cheaper. Ella Yu, I would argue that price corresponds directly to quality when looking at violins less than or so. Mary, how do you convince beginners to buy a violin that costs a minimum of ? Part of the reason I'm even saying this is because I'm including violins sold on sites like Craigslist and Kijiji, where prices don't even give very much information. I think prices tend to reflect market value and workmanship a bit more than sound.
It was the only violin in the shop, and I bought it completely on impulse and hardly touched it for the next 7 years. And I already thought so. You can get one new for even less today! I don't know how a made one would compare, but it is the same shop in Romania, where violin-making traditions are strong. EDIT: I just checked. It's the same company. The problem is that I can only buy and those two were the only options.
Also, I forgot to add that the reason why I'm choosing the Hofner over the Fever is because I checked both of them out at the store and the Fever violin seemed despicable to even a beginner like me XD. The reason being that everything was messed up; the strings irritated my fingers, the bridge and finger board were unevenly placed and also the f-holes were unevenly carved.
It looked terrible. I'd much rather prefer if a professional violin was bought by professional who would treat it and use it well. I'm still just learning how to take care of a violin. I might damage it unknowingly. Wouldn't it be better to start of with something cheap and slowly make my way to a more advanced instrument? The high end store doesnt even sell small violins for more than though they have violins that cost figures.

But then again because the character is so strong it is not an all round bass. If you only want one bass then this is not the one to go for. What am I complaining? I got it for a silly price. I have one of the handmade German ones from a few years ago.
It's an amazingly light and unique sounding bass. I usually run it through an old Marshall Plexi. It's a really fun bass to play. Don't count out the handmade version! My Studio. Hello all. I'm new to this forum. I jus started looking for a vintage Hofner Beatle bass and I've been watching a few on eBay Since the necks seem to be the weak point of these guitars, what's the consensus on the new vintage models? How's the quality and sound compared to a true vintage bass?
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated! Not that they are bad, but if you want vintage bass tone and can get it for less, do it. They also look nice, but they are definitely flimsy. Now, playing the Ignition series bass feels like a breeze. A great reason to choose this bass guitar. Most bass guitars have either a single or a double-cutaway body. Plus, the neck is short, and the space between the strings and the frets is also very small, so it could help you play faster and easily, once you get used to it.
However, if you have sausage fingers, this is definitely not the bass for you. The violin-like body of the Hofner Ignition bass possibly makes it the slimmest and lighter bass in the market. Far from perfect but still great for the price, the Hofner Ignition Bass could use some well-placed upgrades. The neck, the body, and the strings have a great setup right out of the box.
The two things I would do to get this bass ready for the stage is a new bridge and a new set of tuners. Now, this bass packs a pair of mini-humbucker, but these pickups are on the entry-level side. If you want to take the quality of this bass up a notch, it would be wise to swap these units for quality bass mini-humbuckers. However, you would have to look further within the Seymour Duncan page as mini buckers are not a common item on Amazon.
Alternatively, you could check the Squier Classic Vibe Vintage Modified series as they combine the best vintage features and aesthetics with modern electronics and other extras. Overall, playing this bass is a very enjoyable experience. The Ignition is an affordable option for those players looking for a vintage and unique experience.
