Interesting question, actually.

I thought so.
It really is an odd-looking instrument that seems rather out of time. Like something Danelectro would revive.
I think the Rickenbacker 12-string is another guitar that lasts based on Roger McGuinn's sound and style.

I like that one in the OP though it would look tiny on me.

They look tiny on most folks...you get eventually used to it.

I feel that, in both cases, they both remain available because folks like 'em...so they buy 'em...so the companies keep making 'em.I thought so.

Which is not to say that Sir Paul didn't do a lot to make Hofner's bass well known, but a lot of non-Beatle musicians have played them as well.

Chris Wood of The Wood Brothers and Medeski, Martin, and Wood played one as well. The bass player in Jack Johnson's band the Epi version. They still have a place in the world of music outside of the Macca.

Agreed...my little brother prefers his over his other two basses (a LP Triumph and a modified Jazz bass I built him), but the guys in his band feel like it doesn't fit in with their "image", so he gigs with the J-bass, w/ the LP for backup duty, in case he breaks a string or something.
Whenever he subs for my bassist, I insist on it, though, as it sounds so good!
