Paul Weller with his Hofner Violin Bass (Hofner Guitars)
 We're very pleased to have the legend Paul Weller still keen on his Hofner Violin Basses. Pictured here with daughter Leah - a model and singer in her own right - Paul was good enough to have this shot taken for us during a recent recording session at Black Barn studios.
Barnes & Mullins recently supplied Paul with an H500162 1962 reissue Violin bass for this Black Barn recording session, but he is pictured here with a Violin Bass he has had for quite a while. Apparently, Bruce Foxton damaged it during The Jam's heyday...
Many Thanks to Paul and Leah for taking the time.
The German-made H500162 and the Far-Eastern HCT5001SB Violin basses are available from your local Hofner Main Dealer priced £2250 and £650 respectively.

Antigua Wind Alto Sax - Antique Lacquer
Well established internationally, Antigua is the creation of American music teacher Fred Hoey, who during the earlier part of his career discovered much to his chagrin that there was no acceptable middle ground sax for his students, with inexpensive instruments lacking in quality and high end saxes well out of the reach of most pupils.
Just like any other educator, Hoey knew that the quality of the student’s instrument played a crucial role in their desire to continue learning - but most students were unable to afford the instruments that would have had this positive learning impact and given them the appropriate sense of achievement. To address this problem, Hoey decided to research and develop a range of instruments in conjunction with an established saxophone manufacturer. After a decade of testing, the Antigua Brand was born in 1991.
The AS4230AQ Antique Brass Alto sax is a stunning example of Antigua quality, and is sure to get you noticed as much for its soaring tone - thanks to the Antigua Powerbell - as for its cool finish, and it represents great value for money at with a UK retail price around £1060.00.
