It's a matter of taste. Try one out and if you like the sound and playability, go for it. I play hard rock and I'm thinking of buying one. If you're thinking of buying a hollow body violin bass, also take a look at the Rogue VB100. It's a good low cost alternative.

How much is a 1960 Hofner Senator blonde acoustic guitar worth?

It's hard to tell because Hofner changed this guitar pretty frequently so it depends what model of senator you have. Any way, It's a really great guitar. It depends in what condition the guitar is, but most of them sounds really good and also the neck is pretty comfortable so its easy to play. But usually vintage Hofners goes in a range of between $800/$900 up to about $3000 for the fancier Hofner Committee.


What is the difference between rhythm guitar and bass guitar?

I play guitar. The most obvious reason is that the bass guitar is that gives the song backing so it sounds more full. The rhythm guitar gives more of treble sound but it is more versatile and can give off a bass sound too. Plus the rhythm guitar is more upfront while the bass guitar lurks in the background and fills in to give it a fuller sound. I mean unless you turn the bass up all the way on your stereo you don't really notice unless they play with a pick or if you had good ears or it's a quiet song you can hear the "plunk." Anyways, it's filler, but that's just my answer. It's rhythm and filler. The Bass guitar, along with the bass drum, adds the foundation, or bottom to the song. If you tap your foot to the music, you are tapping to that foundation. The rhythm guitar, fills in the holes, aka filling in the music between the beats of the drums, and the fullness of the bass. Together they form the rhythm section to the song.

Is there a amplifier that plays both bass and guitar?

Actually, you can play both bass and guitar on any amplifier. But to produce a better and lower sound for bass, you need a special amplifier for it. I am not sure that there is an amplifier that can play bass and guitar with equal quality.

Is hofner a good brand of bass guitar?

Hofner guitar and basses have been made in Germany and are crafted with quality and precision. Became popular when Paul McCartney started using the Violin shaped bass guitar in the early 1960's or much known as the "Beatle Bass". Be advised that there are few lower priced models and the majority are in the upper price range. Rest assured, you are buying experience from time tested instruments and quality standards from Germany. The bottom line is, be satisfied with your purchase by reading as much information on specifications and try and test play before your purchase. Sound, Feel and looks are the biggest appeal to your purchase.

What would you suggest bass or rhythm guitar?

It depends upon if you are more a people person or a background person. Bass is someone who doesn't mind playing his role down a bit, but is essential to the sound of most bands. Bass is almost as essential as the drummer. Rhythm guitar, however is a front runner, a ham, an actor with a stage and has to have the energy to put on a show. If you are more a front of people, life of the party type, go for the Guitar. Good Luck!

Preference my favorite bass guitar tough is the Rickenbacker 4003 fireglo which go for about 2500-3000 dollars maybe more

What are good colors for a bass guitar?

I would say it's totally up to you and your preference. Do you want something neutral or flashy? Do you want something jazzy or hard rock? If you want to model after a famous bass player, just find some great bands you enjoy and model their players.
