Recommend trying one out if you're looking for something semi-hollow. I like Rotosound RB45 on mine for a mid heavier tone. This is a plus! There's a lot more long scale strings on the market than short scale. The tailpiece construction asks for long scale strings to be installed. Sustain and playability increased immensely after I installed a new bridge. This makes for a bad connection between strings and body. It is light and the posts and their threads are poorly done. Recommend changing it for a switchcraft or Neutrik. Too big a value there's no useable range for the pot. (the recent factory schematic shows 47nF, though). Hagstrom chose to install 68nF capacitors on the tone pots. The bass does not sound like the Rivoli or EB2 with their Mudbuckers. It looks nice on paper, though in practice I've never used the single coil variations, since there's a significant drop in volume the sound is thinner. It seems to me like Hagstrom produces their own switch for this application. The pickup-selector switch allows the following configurations: neck, bridge, neck+bridge in both humbucker and single coil (split coil) configuration = a total of six positions. It has more sustain than a fully hollow instrument, yet less than your typical solid body bass. All the Epiphone hollow body basses I've tried had neck that felt more like a D or U-shape. The bass has the basic construction of the aforementioned: a short scale bass with a hollow body and a solid center block (aka.
To be honest: I couldn't afford an Epiphone Rivoli (or Gibson EB-2), so I went for the Hagstrom. I have been using this bass for six years now.
