dangerboy Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) I need to sell some basses. It's a sad, sad day. First out of the door is this lovely Hondo II. Yes, it's a bolt-on neck. yes, it has only one truss rod. Yes, it's made in Korea. Yes, it's ply. But it still sounds and looks good enough to be more than £150-worth of fun! it has two nice chunky single coil pickups and a big meaty sound with a touch of clang! I bought this off eBay a few months ago - the tuners, which appeared to be made of foil, were shot so I replaced them with big chunky Grover Titans that will stay in tune for months. The knobs were cracked and falling off, so I put on some smart new black ones. There are a whole load of photos at: [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dangerboycreative/sets/72157607438981039/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/dangerboycrea...57607438981039/[/url] This is the same model of bass that Peter Hook played in the early Joy Division days, and used to record Unknown Pleasures.

So probably a shade under £20 extra. Anyone fancy entering the Rickenfaker world with a touch of history at a low, low price?
