I recently picked up a Hofner Contemporary 500/1 short scale bass, which is turning out to be a really good dependable bass, that I'm finding myself playing more & more. It's really lyte, plays really easy, with fast action & I've been getting a lot of complements about the nice rich tone it has too. It came with the Hofner Roundwounds strings, which I changed to the short scale roundwound strings, that I use, but can't spell. I didn't go with flatwounds because, I fill this is a pretty versatile bass with the roundwounds & I'm not that big on Flats anymore. I've been putting this bass through it's paces & it's a really damm good solid bass.

I am glad of the Samick bad rap,though because I got it for 4 hun. It's also a 6 string and that is a plus because there are one hell of a lot of 6 string basses that were purchased, but only a very few that were played for more then an hour or two and this is e case with this one because it WAS like new when I got it but now it has been out on stage a few times and.... Well, they are for playing and not for polishing.
