Bass_Guardian Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Hello fellow Basschatters, Up for sale is my Hohner 1976 Precision bass. I've only had it a short time but I know it will just sit in my room and gather dust as I rarely practice at home. I bought it on a whim on EBay due to a bit of Precision GAS. When I received the bass the pots were very crackly and the volume only worked at a certain position. I have now replaced pots and wiring with a KiOgon wiring kit which has sorted the issue and the output of this bass is now mega. The bass has a great tone and has that signature chunky neck (chunky but not uncomfortable, even with my small hands). The bass has a few dings and a cigarete burn here and there but that's almost expected with a bass 40 years old. It adds the overall "Mojo" of the bass nicely. Bassassin has kindly dated the pickup to be September 1976 which leads me to believe the bass itself was most probably made that year. I'm not too sure of the weight but if needed I'll weigh it on the bathroom scales. Any questions do not hesitate to PM me. Price - [s]£200 ONO [/s][b]Now £130 ono[/b] Postage would be £20 extra. Would much rather collection in person as I'm always a bit anxious shipping instruments. Tryouts more than welcome [url="https://flic.kr/p/w5N58f"][/url][url="https://flic.kr/p/w5N58f"]IMAG0674[/url] by [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/128378472@N06/"]Alex Shields[/url], on Flickr [url="https://flic.kr/p/vNPvFw"][/url][url="https://flic.kr/p/vNPvFw"]IMAG0676[/url] by [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/128378472@N06/"]Alex Shields[/url], on Flickr [url="https://flic.kr/p/w481eb"][/url][url="https://flic.kr/p/w481eb"]IMAG0675[/url] by [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/128378472@N06/"]Alex Shields[/url], on Flickr [url="https://flic.kr/p/uRHTs2"][/url][url="https://flic.kr/p/uRHTs2"]IMAG0671[/url] by [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/128378472@N06/"]Alex Shields[/url], on Flickr [url="https://flic.kr/p/vw79CX"][/url][url="https://flic.kr/p/vw79CX"]IMAG0664[/url] by [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/128378472@N06/"]Alex Shields[/url], on Flickr [url="https://flic.kr/p/vNWWbF"][/url][url="https://flic.kr/p/vNWWbF"]IMAG0655[/url] by [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/128378472@N06/"]Alex Shields[/url], on Flickr Edited October 6, 2015 by Bass_Guardian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Lovely old, and pretty rare copy-era MIJ bass, made by Moridaira, one of the smaller Japanese manufacturers. I'm a big fan of those Maxon pickups, and if I didn't already have an Ibanez P copy of a similar vintage, I'd be very, very interested! GLWTS! Jon.
