In Reply to: RE: Watch Hohner build a Bass. NOT boring. posted by kitch29 on May 30, 2017 at 18:44:44
Several thoughts:
1. First and foremost, what a cool video. Thanks for posting.
2. I always wondered why there was such a price range for the different Hofner basses ($350-$3,000). Now I see.
3. The fret cutter (around 8:55 in the video) is mind-blowing. If one of those frets is even one millimeter off, the instrument will never play in tune. And that guy cranks them out like he's flipping burgers. Amazing.
4. For all its iconic status, it seems like not many professionals play the Hofner. Aside from Sir Paul, who else plays them?
Happy listening,
Jim

Early on the gang saw is cutting the laminated sides just a 'steenth short of through, eliminating any chance of tearout. THe operator just pulls them apart with a tiny bit of flashing, easily sanded off.
I thought I was pretty good with a hand scraper but this guy is getting long shavings you'll only see from a Plane in my shop!
What these craftsman bring to repetitive operations is astounding.
