Kirstie Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Hello I have inherited an Arnold Hoyer Session 001 Bass- does anyone have any idea what it might be worth? I've tried researching but a real.mixed bag of info on them- it's in lovely condition. I also have a Warwick Alien, 2 Wal basses and a Zon legacy and a Gibson amongst others!. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeEvans Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Have you just inherited this whole collection, or just the Hoyer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 The top looks exotic, and nicely carved (note the slap'n'pop shape between the neck and the pickup). Electronics include XLR output, so this has to be handmade and high quality, Alembic style. Price has been far over £1000.

Bassassin Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 That looks to be a remarkable - and desireable - collection of high-end basses you have inherited. You're in the best place to find information about them - what the BassChat hive-mind doesn't know isn't worth knowing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolo Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) I'm sorry for your loss. Whoever left you these must've been a person of great passion and dealt with his interests with intelligence. Regarding the Arnold Hoyer: apparently a German company that produced around the early 80s. There's a bit more info on them on German sites, like this ad: https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/arnold-hoyer-sg-bass-shortscale/2629935523-74-7700 And a search on the German version of Bass Chat: https://www.bassic.de/search/1556726/?q=Hoyer&o=relevance Edited January 2 by Bolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pineweasel Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 The current owners of the Hoyer brand have a history of the marque https://www.hoyerguitars.com/about/#h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 A Hoyer Les Paul was rather famously brandished by Bill Nelson on the back cover of Axe Victim, the debut album by Be Bop Deluxe. Apparently, Stuart Adamson was such a fan he tracked it down. It was eventually sought out by a group of fans and presented back to Bill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the V reissues work , they are normally dated by the neck and neck pocket dates 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brian Moore looks like an i2000/i4 model which appears to be made in Korea & from the early '00s. Can't quite tell from the pic but yours may have been de-fretted. https://www.iguitar.com/i2000Bass/i2000Bass.asp https://reverb.com/item/490517-brian-moore-i4-i2000-2001-natural-4-string-bass-neck-thru-w-ohsc 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirstie Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 Great thank you, so maybe not so valuable, it looks pretty cool to me but what do I know😅. Getting the list together! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Whereabouts are you based @Kirstie maybe a helpful basschatter could visit and give you some idea on sales/values etc? Some shops may (or may not) be unscrupulous enough to try and have you over… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are very few bass specialists around, and it looks like you have quite a valuable collection there, especially with two Wals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
