(Withdrawn) Hohner The Jack Headless Early Passive Version £375 North Staffs

[dodgnofski]

Hohner Headless Bass Guitar Rare Original Passive Model in very good used condition with just the usual marks associated with normal use over the past 30 + years and most of which should polish out - see pics. Included is a Hard Case which is full scale length and has a split in the top - please see photo - plus a few dinks and donks, but it still protects as intended.

 

Being the passive version, there is no battery to worry about, or battery compartment which in many cases are prone to damage. Maple body with ‘Through’ Maple neck and 24 Fret Double Octave Rosewood Fingerboard.

 

The Licensed by Steinberger tuning system keeps this bass in tune far better than a conventional headed bass and is very lightweight at 3.5kg plus being headless, has none of the neck dive associated with many headed basses.

 

Currently sporting Status Hot Wire Double Ball Ended, Light Gauge Round Wound Strings.

 

The EMG Select pickups are very powerful and in my humble opinion, provide a far more natural sound than the active versions with the harsh sometimes ‘iffy’ preamp.

 

The passive controls are Neck Pickup Volume, Bridge Pickup Volume and Master Tone control, which combine to offer a vast array of tonal variations ranging from Old School deep thump, to modern Hi - Fi tones.

 

The Bass benefits from a bridge and fret Set up, which allows a nice low, easy to play action.

 

Postage to UK Mainland only - sorry, in a normal headed size hard case & box, which I guesstimate would be around £25 to £30, or send your own courier or Socially distanced collection, if allowed.

Wow 'Licenced by Steinberger Sound' I bet that's a very early one.

I used to have one back in the 80s; one of our sets was wearing black and red, so I had mine with a red strap.

That’s lovely. I really wanted one of these when they came out. They had one in my local music shop and I’d go every lunchtime to play it for an hour. Never owned one....

I never knew they did a passive one. I did my first gig with a Jack, which i still have, albeit converted to passive. Great basses, glwts!

Mine was a passive one - I bought it new.

I think the active came later.
