1965 Hofner 500/5 President for trade

Sign in to disble this ad
So this bass was almost trashed and sold for parts. Its has all the original parts except one PUP.
The body was hacked up a bit to put in the "new" MIJ staple PUP. The pots are the correct Hofner pots and date to 1965..I installed them and forgot to take pics, but I can take one out and get a pic if needed.
I have the original neck PUP and bridge. The neck has folded into the body a bit so the original bridge is too high at its lowest setting. I have a replacement that I will sand down to make the action playable. Really hard to put a value due to the problems it has, it is overall pretty clean and very nice looking. I think that it should be a pretty decent player with the new bridge.
I have been dying for a Stingray and would love to trade for any Stingray in pretty much any condition.
feel free to make any trade offers...I can't put a purchase price as its pretty much a one of a kind fixer upper. Check out the flame on the back..she is a looker!
Thanks for looking
Anyways..I just got a new POS MAC and it refuses to let me re-size pics, so if you are interested, PM me your e-mail and I will mail you pics.
