| 1959 Karl Hofner Plywood
This bass has been superseded by a killer Kay and I need some room back in my apartment ....really, it's like I'm going into competition with David Gage over here.
The body's in good shape with the exception of a little "dent" in the side of one of the lower bouts. There is a new neck with a solid neck graft by Jacksonville, FL luthier Dale Gosa. I believe that was done in 2007. It could use a new bridge and a fingerboard planing (Bb and B on the A string are buzzy), but I've played it on a couple of gigs recently and got no complaints. Strung with Spircore Weichs on the bottom and Pirastro Olivs (!!) on top. The bass is very light.
mensure 41"
upper bout width 20"
rib width 14"
lower bout width 25 1/2"
depth 8"
$1,800 with your choice of a well-worn Mooradian bag or a new and ultra-light Upton Bass cover. Conveniently located on the border of Chelsea and the West Village, Manhattan.
