G'day backyard,
You're most welcome to the 'suggestion' and I will certainly agree (from personal experience) that ALL Hofner products (not just the 500/1 series) are very well made (and they make more than just guitars) but if by
..."...mik'ed at least by a Telefunken u47....or 72...!"...
...you are suggesting that these particular microphones ought to be used to record tha Bass' output, then I see no issue with that, so long a VOX AC series Amp (either the 50 Watt version - which Paul MacCartney used up to 1965 or the 100 Watt version that he used after that) is supplying the amplification for the guitar. As an alternative, I would suggest a Phone Century series, which is a specialist 100 Watt Valve amplifier (like the Vox AC series), that produces a superb sound, fully compatible with the Hofner 500/1 guitars...
...although I am not sure if Sir George Martin would have used those mikes at Abbey Road...
...you guys can have your thread back now:hehe: ...
