Hohner The Jack Headless Bass - PROJECT £150 Poole Dorset

[Chienmortbb]

I had always wanted a "Jack" and bought this a few years ago, I knew it was a project but was surprised at how much refinishing/modding the bass needed. I do not have the time to work on this, so maybe someone else could try?

 

The body has been heavily modified to take a Roland Midi/Synth pickup. There are three areas that need repairing, the pickup gouge, just in front of the bridge then the extra holes for the mini switches and finally the whole near the output jack where the midi pickup was connected to the "brain". I still have the midi pickup and electronics if anyone wants them (£20)

 

There are also a few light scratches over the body and a small dent in the back of the neck. The Steinberger bridge works fine, and it comes complete with some old, but just about usable, double ball-end strings.   The pickups are licensed EMGs and the bass is very playable from what I have seen. It looks like the frets have been levelled, but not properly crowned from the picture but they may just need a good polish. Fret wear is small, and the truss rod moves easily, both ways. Any questions, please ask. 

 

Shipping will be about £20.

Interesting - I have one of those Roland MIDI electrics waiting for a bass to put it into.

What hardware is included (pickups, bridge/nut, etc.)?

[Chienmortbb]

Pickups, Bridge are included as well. I have the Roland pickup too and happy to include that at the asking price. I will add pics tomorrow afternoon. 
 

One of the pickup/pickup rings is damaged although being away at the moment I cannot inspect it to confirm. I was going to replace the pickups when I was going to refurb it myself. I think it is the pickups itself but cannot be sure.
