Somethings popped up that I’d really like to go for, so I’m going to drop this to £750 for the next week, and then I’m going to withdraw it.

I got it at GAK March 2024 as an early birthday present - I sorted it out through one of the staff there Ryan who I had a few email conversations with about it. My local luthier set it up for me with the new strings and the old ones are included. I assume it was made in late 23 or very early 24 as it’s a newer model and relatively recent addition to the Hofner range. I’ve enclosed pictures of the booklet which has the matching serial number to the inside label - you can even see the name of the craftsman handwritten on the label. Hofner really know how to make something special. I’m sure Hofner would be able to find the exact date for you if needed. If you want pictures of the inside label and serial number and are seriously interested please PM me.

Had also been asked about the weight of this: 4.15 kg / 9.15 lbs

Great set up. Ran exactly the same rig for a few years pre covid. GLWTS

(More clearing…) sE Electronics Gemini II MK1 2013. Had this new directly from work collaboration I was doing with sE at the time. It was put to little use ever since I had it. When I did use , it was handled like new born chick and properly as you would with any dual tube mics. (Moved when cold, wait for pre amp to warm etc .. ) For certain applications - Tubes are kings and queens ! They produce beyond what is ‘sterile’ and add that subtle character (warmth.. saturation .. ) we often look for when tracking ! It sets sessions apart in my experience. So while these can do clean they arent sterile ! ! And like pre amps - tubes can set the difference between takes and parts. What is special about the Germini II is that it sounds beautiful and uncompromising for a fraction of a U47.. This mic will be HUGE on vocals, guitars, overheads, and double bass ! will be an amazing room mic as well all your podcasting needs and beyond ! Its solid build and was made during a period where sE was really producing outstanding microphones ! Price: £650 (Lowest, like for like, I could find on the bay and reverb combined is £650) Condition: Excellent. Includes: Original box, manua,l all cables and pre amp. Collection: Brighton or London. or can post within the UK (tracked and insured, at your expense.(will be heading upnorth 23/24/25/ August so can meet along M1/M6. Meet along the way or outside Manchester or nearby cities.) Fell free to ask any questions , - If of any interest, im happy to throw in a pop filter and a boom arm that might fit your vocal filter - free of charge ,, let me know if interested. Thanks ! (The actual briefcase box was stored in attic studio and was moved about, might have few scratched on the body of the briefcase.. but nothing I could see that was worth taking a picture)
