Hofner H500/1 Artist Violin Bass Reduced to £995 limited time - *SOLD*
ash replied to ash's topic in Basses For Sale
There wasn’t a certificate with this particular bass it came with an inspection booklet with the serial number and the stickers, tags as pictured. There is also a paper serial number label under the control panel. I believe Hofner have recently started to include a certificate with some basses and with the limited edition basses these can be hand signed, etc. however there wasn’t one included when I got this from GAK. This is the model - there is some confusion with model names as Hofner has such a large range. I can’t see a mention of a certificate in the specifications. https://www.thomann.co.uk/hoefner_h500_1_artist_violin_bass.htm?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1581403900&gbraid=0AAAAADuDMCWf5Vyniq7K3L2X8Kp9NIewO&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzdq659P0jgMVqphQBh3kUgUoEAQYASABEgKna_D_BwE -
Hofner 500/1 Violin Bass Artist Series Classic reissue of the famous Violin bass. Top: selected spruce wood Back and sides: flamed maple Neck: 2-Piece maple/beech Fretboard: Rosewood 22 Frets Nut width 42 mm Scale: 760mm (30") Pickups: 2 Staple humbuckers Electronics: Höfner HA2-B: control panel with 2 volume controls, 2 on/off switches, rhythm/solo switch for volume boost Finish: Poly lacquer, high-gloss Includes Höfner case Made in Germany The bass is in excellent condition and is currently strung with Pyramid nylon flats. It has all the tools, stickers, hang tag, inspection tag and manual. See pictures for condition. Action is low and intonation good. It’s a beautiful bass but I tend to play my Hofner ‘Cavern’ bass more because of the ergonomics of the pickup position. This model is based on the 1963 version of the bass. I have owned several of the reissues and original models of all eras and origins. This plays the best and sounds as good as any. It comes with the original Hofner case that has some minor cosmetic wear. Pickup preferred but I can post in the UK at buyer’s expense. I’ve dropped the price as there is something I’ve got my eye on. It is a lovely example of a genuine German built Hofner - in near perfect condition and over £500 saving on a new one. If it doesn’t sell for this price it will stay with me as a backup to my Cavern 500/1.

I bought this to use as a backup whilst my old amp was being serviced. It’s a superb little unit. Bought new recently and rehearsed and gigged a couple of times since. Works as it ought to and is very powerful. I used it through my 8ohm cab and it was loud and punchy. It’s got some cosmetic surface scratches on the top but nothing terrible. Boxed with mains lead and manual (I think). I can post in the UK. PayPal please.

Sterling Stingray Short Scale This was one of my main basses when playing short scale instruments following hand surgery. It’s easy to get around because of the slim neck and 30” scale and enabled me to get back into gigging. This bass has a beautiful flamed roasted maple neck with birdseye board. The bass has three original tuners and a Hipshot D tuner fitted. It has a black pickguard fitted as well as the original pearl white one. It is well balanced and comfy to play over long gigs. It weighs 3.7kgs. The final picture shows it alongside a full size Stingray Special. Selling as I no longer need it. It is a lovely bass and I kept it in preference over two EBMM US made short scale Stingrays. Postage in the UK will be £20 if you can’t pick it up in person. No trades and it is a UK sale only sorry.

Mu-tron Octavider + Pedal Mutron octaver and fuzz in one pedal with a ring modulator option too. It’s a nice neat little unit and runs off a pedalboard or 9v power supply - not included. This is from the recent Mutron reissue series of pedals. Construction is of a very high quality. Excellent working condition - one cosmetic chip to the paint on fascia. Comes boxed with manual. See link below to see how it works with bass. You can get some nice synth and grungy sounds with it. I bought it on a whim to try it out however as much as I like it I’m more of a keyboard/synth player than a person who uses pedals so it’s been left unplayed. UK postage included. No trades. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UVfz-OGn974
