Hi folks,
I bought this from local shop.
Shop owner said "Hofner 500/2 club bass built in 50s or 60s." , but I've never seen anything like this.
・With toaster pickups.
・Headstock looks the same as 500/5's.
・Neck finish and body binding are both BLACK.
Did there use to be such style in 50s or...
No trades please. Price includes shipping PayPal friends & family.

Over the last few weeks I’ve been making this album of 50’s inspired tunes, written from the perspective of my dogs. It was a lot of fun and a good learning experience. I never did get that rockabilly slap with an electric bass, but oh well. Feedback/constructive criticism is always welcome. I...
Trans Black Hofner Club Bass. It is a see through black - not that this picture helps. It didn't come with a pickguard so it was cheaper. 6.2lbs
It has tone. Need to get some flats on there - once it has been here in this climate for more than a few days I will take it for a setup with my...
Hofner: Custom Shop Silver Burst 3 Pickup 500/2 Club Bass
Hand built in Germany in 2007; Custom Shop Silver Burst 3 pickup 500/2 Club Bass. #1 of 1. I’m not sure which came first, this or the Tom Petersson Model (Gold Top). Either way, this is a great player and I’ve gotten countless...

My Grote club bass copy finally came today. Super light hollow body, and the red looks fantastic. Only defects I’ve found are a few blemishes near the controls, but for $200 off of Amazon I wasn’t expecting perfection. Other things of note, the bridge is oddly shaped with slanted angles rather...
Hi, Can some one tell me if the neck is sitting right on my Hofner bass. I am trying to lower the action. It is ok until about the 12th fret then starts going high. Is there any war round this?
Thanks.
History
The 500/2 Club Bass was introduced in 1964 as an alternative to the increasingly popular 500/1 Violin Bass. It was aimed at players who wanted the unique Höfner bass sound but who didn't want to look like Paul McCartney! The body had been in production since 1954 but only as a guitar. It...

I purchased this bass new in February of 2018. I've recorded with it a few times in a home studio which is smoke-free. It's been kept in that same home studio inside of a gig bag (which was standard size, so it will not be included in this listing, fyi). It has been used in a live...

**Sale Only, sorry no trades**
I purchased this in 2011 from Rock'n'Roll Vintage in Chicago. It was a custom order item given the "Cavern" pickup spacing. It's a great bass with a very unique sound, and I'm loath to part with it. The craftsmanship is wonderful and has a lot more low end and...

After my last few months with a full scale jazz bass, I've realized that I just like the look and feel of short scale hollowbody basses and I want to get back in there.
I'm really interested in the Hofner ignition Club bass, but I'm curious about any variants that can be found in the same price...
She picked this purple club bass model out a few weeks ago.
I found one at a killer discount that only needed a slight bridge repair.
Otherwise it was perfect. A quick setup and away we go.....(needs flats though)
Here is the happy new owner.
Sorry, but there is no long drawn out back...

This is a fantastic little bass, but I'm trying to clear up some cap space for the upcoming 2018 GAS season. I'm above the salary cap :)
Contemporary Hofner 500/2. Wine red color. I have it currently strung with Labella flats. Awesome thump. You won't be disappointed. I don't have a case for...
All the gigbags I see are the cheap ones for this bass. I need one that will be road/tour worthy. I know I should just get a hard case but the bass go's on the tour bus with me and not underneath. I even thought maybe a guitar bag like a mono but not sure if it would fit. Any ideas?
Does anyone know if Club Bass is in trouble? I haven't been in a couple of years, but their website is showing very little stock- like 6 high end basses.
I hope they just aren't updating their site, and they are doing well.
Practically new
Bought this about a year ago.
Cool thumper
I really like the bass, but I have to fund a kitchen remodel
and . . . well, changing to short scale doesn't help learning
to play my medium scale fretless.
Pictures below. Maybe I'll even find the original Sweetwater pictures...

Been doing some searching and reading about this bass, as I recently came across one for sale and dig the looks... There doesn't seem to be a whole of info on them, though. Have many of you played or owned one? The one thing that turns me off a bit is the binding on the neck - I tend to prefer...
I've wanted a Hofner Club bass for years, after playing one in a store and falling in love.
That said, the limited controls turn me off a bit, but the real issue is more about the stability of the bridge, and it's ability to be intonated (and stay intonated). I'm not trashing the Club- I'm...
Up for grab is a really nice German made Hofner. I acquired it not too long ago and I just love how it sound and play. Unfortunately, I just can't foresee using it for my currently project anytime soon, so I am letting it go to a better home. According to all the info I could gather, this is a...

Looking for a set of flats 0.40-.095 that will fit the tuner holes and some tea cups for my import Ho fner Club.
if you have any used or new collecting dust and want to sell them, please PM me ASAP. thanks T
This is a Hofner Ignition Club bass I bought new earlier this year. Tuners have been upgraded to Grovers (really nice) and the strings to La Bella Medium Flats (I tried several other strings and found these to be the most even). I also moved (carefully) the front strap button to the neck heel...

What are the recommended pickup heights for the bridge and neck pickup on Hofner Club basses? What do you guys have on yours?
Can't find anything about it on google.
BEST playing German made Hofner Club I've ever had! Great Hofner sound as well, naturally.
I bought another "Gold Label" Club, and I don't wish to be a "collector." Plus, I need the money to pay for the new one! I still have my '62 (in avatar) and "Beatle" bass.
I bought this one last winter...
