A bass player who filled in with us for a while (original bass player had to work shifts for about 15 months) had one of those Hofners.
Not sure how Paul put up with it.
The balance is terrible. Very head & neck heavy.
To my hand, the neck felt like a 2×4.
No wonder Paul went Rickenbacker & Yamaha. Oh, and had his later "Hifner" heavily modified.
Bit, it's super cool he got that legendary piece back!
