*SOLD Hofner HCT 500/1 Cavern spec Violin bass + case £395 absolute bargain £475 Coseley

[geoff90guitar]

During this depressing epidemic, I saw an advert in ‘Joinmyband’ requiring an experienced bass player to form a trio. After several comms it sounded positive and I got quite excited about learning new material and I bought this bass. A few weeks later the main guy said that the drummer had lost interest and doesn’t want to gig anymore. I didn’t even meet them.
Anyway, the bass is for sale. As new condition. Fabulous sound. 
Cheers

Very nice 

[geoff90guitar]

Cheers Ash, it’s got quite a lot of resonance even with the flats. Some guys that do these utube demos are good players but seem to have lost what bass is.

Checked and it's a HCT therefore £649 new.

Still a decent saving. I have the regular HCT violin and they are a lovely guitar.

Bumpy.

The picture above is the Made in Germany one. This is the Designed in Germany model but still superior to the Epi Viola etc.

Price now £395 but I’m beginning to love it

[geoff90guitar]

Anybody?

[tom1946]

Do you know where is was made Geoff?

[grandad]

Anyone not tried a violin bass this is a snip at near 1/2 price with a hard case too.

Great for someone looking for a lighter weight. Great to learn on with smaller hands.

If I hadn't got one I'd jump at this.

Lovely wood.

[geoff90guitar]

Hello again Tom, Indonesia.

The made in Germany anything around £2k.

China, don’t know.

I think the HCT are made in a Hofner factory in Beijing.

[tom1946]

That's ok, they all make great guitars now don't they....

Tempted.

[geoff90guitar]

Listen to this bloke, wrong style but he’ll tell you where it’s made

 

[tom1946]

His playing is doing it no favours is it buzzy and indistinct.

Is that what you meant about wrong style? 

I know I need one in my life, had a Shine version a few years ago and said I'd get a 'proper' one. I'll think about it Geoff.
