Details

It was my lucky day Friday. I won this bass on Hello Music's Facebook giveaway. These sell new around $879, and I will be receiving a brand new bass.

While I am ecstatic to get a free bass, it is honestly not one I will use much, so I am going to attempt to sell or trade for something I will use.

First here are specs and a stock pic. I will post a pic of the actual bass when I receive it
this week.


"Now the Contemporary version of the Hofner Club Bass is available and offers the famous Hofner bass-sound in an alternative cutaway design. Inspired by the orginal Hofner Club Bass from the 1960s this electric bass guitar offers you the chance to own a piece of history with vintage looks and sound. Light in weight and easy to play with the 30"short scale neck. The centre block improves sustain. Original Hofner 'Staple-Top' pick-ups.

Crap, I'd love that but I don't have anything in your list. Unless you'd be interested in an MTD 5er with an Aguilar OBP-3 preamp + $100. Good luck on the sale. Nice bass.

Cheeze I have a more or less unused MIM Strat if you are interested - shipping might be a bit of a sod but let me know if you want some details mate.

DLS...thank you but no thanks...Martin......Id be interested, but shipping would definitely be costly, especially with the strat weighed down with full bottles of Scotch whiskey!

I'll investigate from my side if you like - I can check out DHL - will drop you a pm with details of the Strat and let's see if it's viable for us both ways?
I'm tied up all day tomorrow so if Tuesday is ok - course if you get a more doable offer, no sweat.

What are you looking for specifically in a Mac? I repair and sell them for a living and I'm also a Hofner Hound.

Something in about the same value range. Its main use would be for recording. Something that could run 10.9 would be ideal. I'm new to macs, so am not really up on specs.

I bought a low priced used Mac ( a 2007 model I believe) recently that runs 10.6, just to see if a Mac was for me. I like it a lot, but I'd like something a bit more updated. Of course, I realize the value of the bass doesn't get anything extremely fancy.

I initially said laptop but if more features, speed, etc. would come at the same value in a desktop, I'd be willing to go that way too.

If you want to discuss particulars, feel free to email me at [email protected].

Bass due in tomorrow evening. I would really like a MacBook an iMac,
or a well equipped iPad. I'm no longer interested in an iPhone. 6 string guitars and 5 string basses also considered. Pics will be put up when it gets here.
