BEBASS Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) [color=#434649][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Hi, I'm selling this beautiful instrument as it is not seeing enough use and I could do with the cash. It is in mint condition (except the strings are a little old). It comes with brown hard case (VGC) and 'case candy' that was included when the instrument was purchased. The cost brand new is approximately £650 and I'm looking for £400. No trade offers please. Can post at buyers expense[/size][/font][/color] [color=#434649][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Below is the manufacturer's blurb...[/size][/font][/color] [color=#434649][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]With a fully hollow 16.5" wide body and fitted with close spaced original Hofner 'Black Bar' pick-ups. The President Bass is fitted with the famous Hofner control panel to ensure a great sixties style sound. A vintage style electric bass guitar that allows you to capture the tones of the 50s and 60s at a very affordable price.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#434649][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Founded in 1864, Hofner's comprehensive range of guitars draws on the firms long-standing success making precision string instruments for musicians.

KevG Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Have you moved the front strap button? On the Hofner website it is on the side of the body not at the heel. Quite interested, how much would postage be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEBASS Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hi Kev, Sorry this has just sold. Hope another one comes up for you - lovely basses. FYI, I didn't move the strap button so not sure why Hofner have changed the position. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
