It until THE Jeff Duncan has been found….

@karlfer @itsmedunc in the best way possible, looking at the battle scars of poor old Jeff’s case…I’d suggest that it is in fact the case that is Spartacus…

Hold your horses @PTB might not be as easy as you’d hoped…Jeff MAY have to wait a while longer… you sir, have a PM….

I’m no Jeff Duncan but if I can work out how/when I can get to south Croydon, I’ll happily take it off your hands and track down the myth, the legend, the man whom Jeff Duncan may be…..maybe….

Apologies all, looks like it’s going to senor @binky_bass thanks for all the interest

And replied

ANOTHER price drop…. £60 posted Just need this to be gone…

I make it 23 3/4” ish (605mm if your that way inclined)

@Stub Mandrel I’m fully open to offers….

@lemmywinks he’s been trying to sell that for a looonng time, it’s for sale on several sites at different prices albeit around the same mark, I might be wrong but I suspect his pricing is a little…optimistic best of luck to him all the same though

£75 posted in the UK, collection from Maldon, Essex or meet up nearby is welcome. £60 and a cuppa if you collect, £65 and a Ginsters if you don’t want to travel that far any ridiculous offers /swaps / trades considered just want this out of the way now…

You sir, have a PM

@Stub Mandrel well spotted sir, the recess is indeed unvarnished…

@alyctes you have a pm sir…

@Jabba_the_gut yup! @lemmywinks just to satisfy your curiosity even further…

£90 gets it posted to your front door

@Brother Jones thanks for the input, I’m always happy to be corrected on any misinformation I have posted, I was/still am to a certain extent confident that the through stringing on this bass is an aftermarket mod, if I may point you towards these threads then hopefully you can see why… @alyctes it’s yours if you want it ha ha

Recently acquired late 70’s / early 80’s Hohner Jazz type bass Good points… bass is in a decent condition for its age Electrics work as they should and it does sound fantastic Pickups appear to be original although I’m not knowledgable enough to be able to comment on the rest of the electronics Bass feels solid and very well put together Points to note… the bass has been modded at some point in its life to accept through body stringing, the mod has been done to a high standard and is tidy enough Not so good points… the truss rod nut has been a little chewed and is above my skill set to get it moving again Will need some fret work, given the lack of truss rod movement the bass plays fine but does have a fair amount of buzz between 1st and 3rd frets, not much past that but I’m not sure if that’s to do with the current high action or high / low frets As much as I like this bass I just can’t gel with the neck that feels, to me, like a tree trunk in comparison to my Ibanez’s would make a decent instrument for someone with the time & skills to get the truss rod working and fret work done or you could throw another neck on it and away you go photos show the only marks / dings I could find I did email Hohner themselves (as well as ask the basschat massive for their thoughts in a separate thread) to see if I could get any solid information on this bass as what I’ve seen on the internet seems to be a bit sketchy (please see attached image for what they COULD tell me) Happy to entertain any offers or trades, not looking for anything in particular so try me with whatever you have, would add cash for anything that tickles my fancy, musicman / OLP or Ibanez soundgear type things would be of particular interest Not 100% on what these are worth in this condition so If I’ve over priced it please do send me a message and I’ll adjust accordingly £60 posted in the UK, collection from Maldon, Essex or meet up nearby is welcome. £50 and a cuppa if you collect, £55 and a Ginsters if you don’t want to travel that far still accepting any offers / trades / swaps
