    Hagstrom HB-4 - any good?

    Hey bass dudes, I'm looking for an interesting short scale bass to replace the Peavey Foundation I'm selling (a great bass, but the 35" scale is a bit too long for me). In my search, I came across a used Hagstrom HB-4. However, I can't find much info on it, as far as user experience, quality...

    Friends, Luthiers, lend me your eyes (pickguard & PU design)

    I'm not a Luthier so I don't know if I'm allowed to play here. If this belongs somewhere else I will accept moderator judgement, but I would love to hear Luthiers' reactions to my mockups. I've had this '72 Gibson SB-350 for a very long time, and it was unplayable at first. The 2 point bridge...

    NBD: Hagström Super Swede Bass

    After a rather arduous six-week journey of finding a seller, making overseas buying and shipping arrangements, and waiting for transit and multiple customs delays... my new baby finally arrived the other day. This is a 2014 limited reissue of the incredibly rare Super Swede bass, which ceased...

    Late '67 Hagstrom Concorde Deluxe Issues.

    I'm going through this Old Hag and discovered a couple of problems that I need help and advice on. How is the intonation adjusted with this bridge? The screws on the saddles only allow the saddles to move side to side. I'm assuming that adjustment is for string alignment, but maybe a part of...

    Hi, new here... Hagstrom Viking anyone?

    Hi, was just looking about for some reviews for the Viking and stumbled on this and thought "why not!" Anyone got any thoughts on the Hagstrom? I can't find a lot of reviews or any UK stockists so have bitten the bullet and I'm excitedly waiting for mine to arrive in black from Germany...

    Hagstrom Viking reissue impressions

    Finally got my chance to try a used Hagstrom Viking locally. + Gorgeous! The tobacco burst really is nice. + I really like the short scale and thin neck! Very fast and a pleasure with short fingers. + Price is within budget! +/- Black tapewound strings feel nice and provide thump, but lack any...

    Thoughts on semi-hollow shorties: Guild Starfire, Hagstrom Viking, Hofner Verythin, Fender Coronado

    Hey folks, I'm in the market for a semi-hollow, short scale thump machine. Really liked the tone, effortless scale & lightweight of the Hofner Icon Beatle bass I owned in the past but it definitely felt cheesy build-wise. Quality control also seemed to be sorely lacking on the lesser Hofners...
