customstocker Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) hi, heres some images of the bass , instrument in good overall condition , frets original , slight dings on 13th fret , straight neck, truss rod working ,short scale of approx. 30 inches or 75cm. all electrics in amazing original clean condition with no scratchiness at all. blue hammerite finish which has worn in places & a couple of dings in the body. hopf used bolt on type necks with a worm insert in the neck heel which is why the neck joint is still very solid after 50+ years .there were originally 3 domed screw covers on the neck joint bolts but these are no longer present but could possibly be found in a hardware store as they are the type of thing used on furniture screws. the bass weighs in at only 2.5 kilos but has a big 60s authentic sound with a suprising number of different tones available with the 2 selector switches. scratch plate is anodised aluminium with debossed control indicators & hopf logo . scratchplate has replacement screws holding it to the body. all other hardware, screws etc. are original. I have 4 or 5 of the original scratch plate screws which I will inclue with the instrument. here are some images of the bass , check out how clean the electrics & pickups are. thanks for looking price £430 or €499 .[url="http://s1191.photobucket.com/user/customstocker/library/wal%20pro1e%20bass%20guitar/hopf%20twisty%20bass%20%20circa1962"]http://s1191.photobu...%20%20circa1962[/url] Edited April 9, 2013 by customstocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
