In this episode I unbox and have a closer look on my AliExpress Höfner bass. I change the strings, the nut and have a deep dive inside the bass! Head over to my Instagram site! ...
Awesome bass! I bought a pre-loved Hofner Ignition last year, it's such a fun instrument to play. It weighs next to nothing and playing with flatwound strings is such a joy!
Cool bass! Hope it plays well. My custom order finally shipped, now it's just the waiting game. How long does it usually take for your orders to ship to you? I suppose it would be a pretty similar time for delivery to Finland. Cheers!
Hi there I recently purchased an ignition … I’m loving it…. I would like to replace the nut as you did. Can you please share what the “model”was? And where you purchased it? Thank you for all
Hello! Thank you for watching and for comment. Below you’ll find the link. Great to hear that you’re loving your bass, good luck with the nut change! Bass Mässingsmutter, Förslitsad... www.amazon.se/dp/B0BZHWQQCN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Thanks! In total I paid 15 dollars extra for the inlay on the headstock and on the body. Really cheap for a custom job! To get that done in Europe or the US it easily would have cost over a 100 dollars (if at all possible)
@@TheworldofMattias thats real cheap, im not guitar builder, but it looks like need few more try and test kind of job, to make sure get it right even all cut by CNC , $15 just way to cheap, in Europe $15 maybe only enough for 1 or 2 side dot inlay😂 such great design , fit perfectly for the bass , im not big Beatles fans ,but i quite like it , im not surprised if the seller "borrow" your inlay design to make some to sell , because it looks very very cool.
Subscribed! If you don't mind me asking, I'd love to see a DI recording into any old DAW instead of camera audio in the future. It really helps to get that before/after vibe :) Great video!
Hello, thanks for your feedback, and sub! Yes, I have ordered sound hardware to be able to do better sound examples. And I will also be better on before and after shots/sounds. I´m new to CZcams so I´m still learning and I do value your feedback!
I ordered from this seller: www.aliexpress.com/store/1102719466?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.pcShopHead_2004993693866.0 But they don´t sell the bass anymore. Contact the and ask them. Good luck!
@@geryvillalobosmusic6362 well, I live in Sweden and the transit time to europe is very long. Currently I have five guitars in transit and they have been on the way for about a month. I think transit time is faster to the USA, that’s what I heard. So I would think Its probably the same to Mexico, but I don’t know for sure. If you place a custom order the build time is somewhere between 1 and 2 month. Good luck my friend!
Factory direct with slight cosmetic issues but nothing you would not get from a few gigs@@TheworldofMattias I also got the case the same way for $33 - oh $5 on both for delivery. I also got one that was in bits for about $40 that I still need to build up. SO many projects, so little time (or just lazy)
Ok, that sounds interesting! As you´ve seen from my videos I have no problem with getting my hands dirty so for me a that would be a great deal. Were did you get it from? Is there a webpage or do you need an insider to help you? :)
If your buying a Hofner from Ali Express you are not actually getting a Hofner. :/
Well, you’re not wrong.
Great job Matthias showing the inside of that bass 😳 I haven't seen anyone else do that 💯
Thanks man! :)

Totally agree! 😊

That’s very exciting! I really hope you’ll be happy with your guitar! The turn over for my guitars so far has been 5-7 weeks.
Tienes el link para comprar uno igual. A veces vienen con la maquinaria convencional.
I’m sorry, I don’t have any valid link. But I got mine on AliExpress. Good luck!

Friend, how long does it take to arrive?
It depends on where you live?
@@TheworldofMattias México bro
Friend?

My package has been there for two months and it still hasn't arrived, I hope it arrives this month, thank you very much for the information friend
when you buy a fake hofner this is the result
Agreed. Nice on the outsid but not so good on the inside. But, It saounds good and it plays great, and that matters too I think.
Don't like Chinese, bought a German made one, an Artist model.
$95 for a NEW REAL one and also made in China.
95? The cheapest I´ve seen for a real one is about 400.
