  1. Re advertised with reduced price. Selling at a reduced price for limited period. Fender Musicmaster Bass 1971 withdrawn
  2. A great playing vintage Fender - if you make me a reasonable offer I may even say yes!
  3. Feel of the neck and I prefer the look of this style bridge with the heavier saddles and side bolts.
  4. Interest but no bites price reduced.
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. Correct. Great sounding pickup and a great playing little vintage Fender!
  8. 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.

  9. Fane Sovereign 8” Speaker 225 watts 8 ohms. Excellent driver fitted briefly whilst my Yamaha speaker was being reconed. Great for bass or PA use. Boxed. Postage possible for an extra £5 - UK only.
  10. Yes it is a very nicely roasted specimen 😆
  11. 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.
  12. 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

  13. Cheers Pete. There is some damage as a result of scarring but I’ve adapted my playing a little and feel confident again on long scales. I’ll keep my old faithful Rick shortscale 3000 and my Hofner but I have no real use for the ‘baby versions’ of my main basses now.
  14. I’ll have a look and measure them going to be tomorrow though now.
  15. If it’s a Hofner they probably won’t as there are special sets for them.
  16. Nice broken in flats - silks scruffy for 2+2 basses. Used in an old Rivoli bass. Price includes UK postage. PayPal please.
  17. Tape wound bass strings, nice and thumpy. Used on an old Gibson bass briefly and a Shortscale Stingray. Silks a bit scruffy. UK postage included. Medium gauge. Paypal please.
  18. As per title used briefly on a shortscale Stingray. Cut for 3+1 or 2+2 basses. Lightly used. Price includes UK postage. PayPal please.
  19. As per title - brand new price includes UK postage. Paypal please.

  20. Francis bought some Hofner strings from me, quick and easy deal. Many thanks!
  21. D’Addario Pro Steels XL Long Scale 40-100 I bought these to try but only fitted the E string briefly as I prefer the feel of nickels. The G,D and A are new as only the E was cut for a P bass and fitted for about five minutes. Price includes UK postage.
