Great playing man! I am saving up for this bass and was really happy to find your post with such nice playing and tone. Thanks and take care 👍

That M7 Swamp Ash is my main gigging bass. Does everything I ask of it.

I'm with you, a blend knob would do the trick, like I did with my personal fretless bass.

Dad passed away two days ago. - Gabriel Hoffman

i just bought this mic second hand and im so fuckin happy

With this mic, you can actually feel what you are singing and hear the inflections in your voice. Inflections are a part of my style, so it suits me well.

I wish Roscoe incorporated some nicer knobs and had the option for a zero fret.

whats the name of the song at the end? Amazing review brother!

Appreciate the video. Had my finger hovering over the 75 watter and the newer 90 watter. Went with the 90w PJB Double Plus. There is now a 500w as well.

Damn that sounds amazing...

Looks easy enough to make

0% Tone vs the Mute -- what is the difference? Seems similar to me.

Blue Murder

Beautiful and that sounds already made me so excited. 😅 Sounds are like monster 🤪 It’s so good 😂. I love it🤩.🙌🏻🫶🏻

Make AT LEAST 150k to hire him….. he’s after ya money NOT YOUR RESULTS!

what year did they build it ?

The Hoffman shop is fixing my guitar now I have a Martin authentic 1941

Hm, I still think it’s a bit cheaty to claim 8 different patterns. Yes it’s nice not to have to turn the mic, but still it’s just 4 different patterns.

I just picked up a used 2006 (60th ann.) black/perloid in near mint condition. the Fender B-Bender (Parsons/Green) is pretty damn cool.

These were designed for bass guitarists to dabble with the classic upright sound. You did fine. Don't let the purists distract you because you're not using proper Simandl hand position or fingering. Clean sound and accurate intonation is all that matters.

Be kind to you? you sounded great!!

I bought a V7 2nd gen. It was set up poorly and the neck had a trussrod issue. I received a new neck under warranty which was fine. But as much as I read about Sire basses being perfect out of the box. That absolutely was not my experience.

Nice playing man, can you tell me what are the songs you're playing? Those are good songs for practice, thanks

Bad recording, even worse playing.

Thanks excellent post

So good to hear someone talk about stage levels being too loud…..don’t be too loud on stage…..I loved,” you should be able to talk while playing and hear yourselves”…. And you don’t need a 50 watt tube amp cranked to the max….for almost all normal clubs ….get a smaller amp and crank that…like a 12watt amp

What version of what a fool believes is playing at 5:35?.

Will it go round in circles ukelele

sounds good man!

Great job on the review

Just got mmy M5, swamp ash body in transparent blue/turquoise. Absolutely amazing. No issues with it at all.

Great man, awesome playing and wonderful tone.

I want one I'll take one LEMAYNELSON VACOUVERWASHINGTON NORTHWEST USA

Thanks for the info , I’m having one made as you speak. Hope the Barts do well.

I am a gigging bass player. I'm a true blue MarkBass guy and I still love my old Polytone amps, but the Phil Jones is a great amp. I've used this amp for years with a laptop battery or the supplied AC plug. It is great for upright and electric bass. It's great for solo practicing and recording. It's great for band rehearsals. You can use it on gigs but you'll probably need to feed it into the PA.

I ordered mine today and I got it for right at $1000. I'm excited and I can't wait to play it. This bass favors the aesthetics of the TRB1005. 👍

Jennifer sounds pretty cool got the Dakota Red 2014 love it

I hope your issue with the neck pickup diminished after you started playing it, L A. It didn’t sound like you let it inhibit you during that Doobie Brothers cover.

Your voice sounds detuned 🤔. Might be from your microphones?

I just accidentally ran across your Hoffman Guitar video. Thanks for sharing your story. It just so happens that I am the the original owner of the identical Dreadnought #133 built one month before yours (Feb 1977). I bought mine in Minneapolis in March of 1977 for my birthday. I love my Hoffman!

Good sound examples, great playing.

I worked on an assembly line at the Ford Plant in St. Paul MN for an entire summer so I could save up and buy one of Charlie's guitars in 1979. I own #178... Rosewood back and sides, Adirondack Spruce top, Abalone inlay, and Rosewood fingerboard. I have a pretty large collection of Martins, Taylors, Collins, Guilds, and Gibsons...NONE of them come close to that Hoffman. Your Mahogany Hoffman sounds amazing, so bright and clear. You are lucky to own it.

I opted for the M5 variant in transparent blue and it checks all the boxes. Picked it up off of Thomann USA for $677 with shipping. Goes for $800+ in the states. Great review! Love the finish on the M7s.

Over price

Hi, I can't find M7 anywhere. Do you know any stores in the US that have them in stock?

Wow! Thanks!! It really has a kind low baritone/trombone brass horn sound! Gonna have to save a few bucks!!

Great playing ! Great bass ❤

I know I'm like 2 years late to the party and you'll likely never read this comment, but I'm scouring KZbin for reviews of these basses and I'm glad I found yours. I might have to buy one tomorrow. Let's Dance at the end was extremely well done!

Really good review. And fantastic playing! I love that bass line from What I Am! Thanks for sharing!

Great video amazing great playing too !!!! Wonderful.
