My first, my favorite, forever and ever, amen.

I bought it cheap and with no certificate and the signature guard was missing. I checked with Kenny to see if I could get another sig plate and maybe a certificate. He and JH found out, with some research, that it was not a Hoffs but a 350 SPC. It has all of the Hoffs features, full width inlays, bound neck/body, bridge HB, etc...just a leftover Hoffs basically. Like the McGuinns that you see every once in a while. Needless to say, I didn't get a replacement signature plate, which makes sense. This is rarer than a regular Hoffs.
That's wild, John!

I still have my first one too, bought in 1981, with my youthful savings.
Here's an equally proud former owner back in 1968...

One day I would love to hold that bass in my hands for only a few minutes. I love the early Bee Gees stuff.
