I've just realised I neglected to upload a photo of the face of the headstock 🤦🏻‍♂️

Now £795 collected from Margate or I can box it up if you'd like to organise a courier. Bargain!

that is a wonderful sum of pieces of wood made into a magnificent bass! GLWTS!!! 😉 

Thanks, it's a lovely bass. 

I'll be heading to Nottingham on Thursday 11th April if anyone en route fancies this.

How does it balance on a strap?

 

With such a light body weight, I’d be slightly concerned that it could be a little neck-heavy?

It's very well balanced and doesn't neck dive at all. I guess the shear size of the Jazz body helps in that regard.

That is such a beauty 👌🏼 🤩 

Agreed, a lovely thing. I've just strung it up some Bass Centre Elites and it's sounding great. 

A few more pics of this beauty including the Vincent adjustment tool and polishing accessories/instructions. 

£950 collected or I'll box it up if you want to arrange a courier. 

I can't imagine you'll find a cheaper vintage Hofner.

Do you have the original pick ups?

No I don't unfortunately.

Re nitro or poly finish, if you want a definitive answer it might be worth dropping an email to Hofner HQ at [email protected]. I've done this before on a different matter and had a helpful reply.

Thanks for the suggestion 👍

I contacted Hofner and they have just confirmed that it is indeed a nitro cellulose finish. 

I'm dropping the price down to £1550 on BC. I think I'll put it on commission sale at a shop at some point soon.

Cheers, Apologies, one of the photos has your finger pointing to what looks like a dint, must just be the light, my bad. 

Didn't think I was a big fan of violin basses but I keep coming back!

Have a bump

Ah I see what you mean, no ding just my finger trying to position the bass for the photo 👍

In other news, a Basschatter has asked if the finish is nitro or poly. I'm 95% sure it's nitro due to the feel and the way it's wearing, but does anyone know for sure?

Is that a ding in the top 'horn' and is the cracking on the neck.confirmed as finish only and not the neck itself?

What do you mean by the ding on the top horn? The neck cracks are in the finish, I can't feel feel them at all when I'm playing the bass.

After discovering a Hofner owners register online I can confirm that this bass was made in 1987.

Did this finally sell? I hope so ✨

It did indeed, on ebay 😐

Bump. 

I'll be driving to Hertfordshire on Friday 23rd if anyone is interested in this and can meet there or thereabouts. Open to offers.

I wouldn't mind keeping the Nordstrand pickups if anyone wants the bass without them? 👍

@Beedster not a good time to be selling 😕

If only my GAS was aware of this.

Beautiful, almost looks mint green in colour

That'll be down to my below par photography skills, it's definitely a creamy vintage white finish 👍
