Submitted for your perusal,

I've always been a bit fascinated with Hoyer instruments :D

Cool 70s vibes, though the bridge looks like a modern replacement. Those DiMarzios really don't sound like a real Gibson mudbucker at all, which can be good or bad, depending on who you ask. ;D

OK, I' a Murkin, so couldn't read hardly any of it - but I could read (and got a kick out of) "Vintage 'Alembic-Hofner Style' E-Bass".
Because Alembics and Höfners are so much alike...........

An interesting instrument. German having been my first language, I found this to be an interesting read and post. It is a pity that the tariff issue to USA export might be a revenue increasing factor with a USA purchase. The seller is in Zurich, Switzerland. If I got my hands on this instrument, I would install two Curtis Novak Bi-Sonic type Darkstar pickups and an Alembic Blaster circuit, perhaps.
