Here's the story... I was moving house a number of years ago and didn't have a proper case for a much treasured (and fragile!) 1960's Hofner Senator Bass. At the time I couldn't get hold of a suitable off-the-shelf case, and so I had a custom flight case built for it. And it has literally been used once - for a single house move. But I've never used the bass live or even taken out of the house since then. So this flight case has set in my spare room, kept just in case I needed to transport the Hofner Senator Bass again. Then very recently....I discovered that Hofner now make a suitable hard case (for the Hofner President re-issue)...and so I've got one of those to replace the flight case, and this flight case is now definitely surplus to requirements. From memory, I think it cost me not far off £200 to get made, but I just need the space it's taking up, so I'm happy to take £50.00 for it. As you'll see from the photos it's basically in 'as-new' condition, Hexaboard with proper professional grade fittings throughout. Dimensions: External Dimensions: 122cm x 47cm x 21.5cm Internal Dimensions: 115.5cm x 41cm x 15cm So...this could be a very handy case for all sorts of things! I can ship it - but that would probably be quite pricey. Collection would be better I would think. Thanks!

No worries - I totally understand!

Hi - I'll take this please if it's still available. Thanks.

👍

Hi - sorry for the delay in responding! Is this the short scale model? Yes - my tape measure says it's around 31 inches. And are you able to weigh it accurately, please? 3.4kg.

Thanks!

Thanks!

It looks even Thanks! It looks even better 'in the flesh'! 😎

DeArmond by Guild JetStar Bass - 1999 Model, made in Korea. I bought this stunner for a live project that I thought would ideally want something really different looking & eye catching (I love the colour!) - but, of course, that band dissolved before it got to the stage of playing gigs! 🙈 Redundancy means that...I must 'thin the herd' and much as I love it - this one needs to go! It has a mahogany body with a stunning Metallic Blue gloss finish with 2 single coil pickups and set neck, with very good build quality, lightweight and features the unique 1960's JetStar shape, bound neck and distinctive bird headstock inlay. It has 2 x vol and a single tone control. Knobs: the originals that were on it when I bought (featured in most of the photos) were a bit scruffy & I didn't think they were bling enough, so I replaced them with some gold Gibson style speed knobs (first two photos) - which I think look loads better. But I will, of course, include the original knobs too. The bass has light scuffs and marks in places (please see photos!) but is in generally very good condition for a 25 year old bass! It plays really nicely with a superb low action (42mm approx nut width). Collection & inspection is definitely OK (NN13). But I can ship if required - I don't have a case, but it will be well packaged and boxed for shipping.

Congratulations! You've just won the internet!

I've got a Wal Custom from 1987 that I bought new - it has a mis-match between the serial number on the plate & the one written in the control cavity. I asked Pete about this some years later when he was doing a re-fret for me & he shrugged and said "It happened sometimes...".

OK - Thanks.

Is one of the two 'inputs' a 'through'...? Thanks

Got to be one of the coolest looking Stingrays I've ever seen.

Is this still available...? Thanks.
