Ā 

Absolutely stunning all original Hofner Senator Bass, made in 1965 in the German factory. This is the real deal, and sounds sublime. That wonderful honky low end attack...play with a pick and mute with your palm, you'd struggle to find a better recorded bass tone!! You see so many of these without the original pickguard, but not this one, it's all there.

Ā 

Has just been set up by pro luthier so intonation is spot on, plays like a dream. Electronics are all good too, ready to rock. At present there is no case with it, so a handover near Oxfordshire or London is preferable. But if a serious buyer wanted to source a hard case I am not averse to shipping.

Thanks for reading :)

I had one of these. It was my first bass guitar, second hand in 1972 or thereabouts. I think I sold itĀ  a couple of years later for Ā£15, should have hung onto it with hindsight.

Quite unusual to see one in this condition without a heel repair or re-glueing. Very nice, good luck with the sale.

this one suggests 1956Ā http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/ramsay/date.htm

Ā 

where as this one says 1965Ā https://www.guitarinsite.nl/serienummers-hofner_eng.php

Wonderful either way!

Thanks! Pretty sure it is 1965 based on when Hofner produced this particular line of basses.

Now sold, thanks for interest.Ā

On a related matter, I can't work out how you edit the title of a post to say it is sold. I can edit the main body of the text but seemingly not the title. Can anyone help this poor old luddite?šŸ˜‚

Go to the 3 little dots top right hand side and select edit, should work from there
