SOLD.
For sale is my '68 Hofner 500/8-BZ in very good condition. It is all original and plays and sounds great, has low action, with little to no fret wear. This double cut-away, short scale (30.5") German made hollow body bass has a solid spruce arched top, maple sides, and a flamed maple arched back. It has a built-in preamp with seperate bass boost and fuzz controls, as well as a 3-way pickup selector with master volume and tone controls. I've owned this bass for more than 20 years, but since I have way too many basses right now, it's time to let someone else enjoy it. (NO trade offers please) Back in 1968, this model was much more expensive than the 500/1 Beatle bass ($150 dollars more!) It is in very condition for its age, with the usual scratches, checks and dings for a 42 year old instrument. The only thing missing is the black pickguard (I never had it). I never had a case for it, but it will be packed very well (double boxed) so as not to incur any damage in transit. asking $1000.00 OBO + actual shipping in the contUSA. paypal is fine.
