Mint German Hofner Club Bass, Sunburst

In flawless condition. With metallic rectangular case in similar shape. Great instrument with many superb sounds...unbelievably light...but I have to get rid of some inventory and the neck is a little too narrow for my meat hooks. Will post pix soon.

$1400 OBO shipped in the lower 48.

Real German Engineering

Here are a couple of cell phone pix. I can find no flaws.
These things are seriously expensive new.

Available on 7-day approval. Your only exposure is return shipping if you don't like this beauty.

The real thing

I had an ICON before I got this. There is no substitute in feel
or sound. The knockoffs are nice for what they are, but this
is the source.

Light as a feather and ultra playable (not to mention versatile)

Date of Prod

Sorry for the delay

There is no serial number on the instrument, just the Hofner made in Germany sticker. And I am not the original owner. So, I am afraid I cannot give you a date of production. But, based on its condition, I am assuming it is relatively recent.

Date of Prod redux

Two things to add

This is the Model 500/2 if that gives a clue as to earliest date of production. Also, I bought the bass from Capital Guitars (just found the card), I have sent an email to them to find out if they know the date of production...

Got it...

Heard from Capital Guitars. Instrument made in 2011.
Apparently the serial number is under the control panel, but
he knew the date of manufacture.

Good pix

http://s969.beta.photobucket.com/use...library/Hofner
Here's a link to some better pix of the beast

Note that the lower bout is not darker as it appears in these shots.

PS i will include the rounds that were on the bass when I bought it. It is now strung with TI flats.
