Blanks

In this instagram, Blanks can be seen using the Hofner Violin Bass guitar saying:

working on some new bass lines

Previously it was thought Blanks was using a Hofner 500/1 bass, however I think that it incorrect because there are inconsistencies between the bass Blanks uses and the 500/1. For starters the bass Blanks uses has a white logo on the headstock (as we can see on the picture provided), pickguard is white perloid, there's some writing on the trussrod cover that matches that of the Hofner Ignition se. The Hofner 500/1 has a cream perloid pickguard, there's nothing written on the trussrod cover, and there's a golden logo on the headstock. You can see the Hofner bass in many Blanks videos like these ones: https://youtu.be/WCCGpZbCxvA (go to 2:16 to see the bass) https://youtu.be/aklpLx-YLqw (go to 2:35 to see the bass).

In his older videos, Blanks can be seen using the transparent red version of this bass a lot. Recently though, he uses his Hofner bass. This is the last video on his channel where we can see him using it: https://youtu.be/1wIgAAq8JOM Older videos of Blanks playing the Ibanez mikro gsmr20 include these and many more: https://youtu.be/vRUFNzpG-5A at 2:23 https://youtu.be/cEw9DqKKVwA at 3:07 https://youtu.be/SHCJWpBj6ZQ 2:15

Blanks showed his Fender Player Series P-Bass MN TPL on a TikTok video showing his studio (screenshot provided). Also, in Blanks' YouTube video titled "My followers write a song about missing the good old days I FILL IN THE BLANKS #1" (link here: https://youtu.be/6VEti0GBnRY?si=4_OZv2JmkK1WzvEb ) Blanks lists the gear he uses, and the Fender P bass is part of the list.
