New Hondo II "Professional" lolz

[Rock O]

I admit that it was the cream pickups that made me buy this today.
The same pawn shop had a MIJ Hondo P-Bass I wanted but the truss rod was snapped.
This one has lots of issues (neck hump, mismatched bridge saddles, missing knobs and broken switch) but I got it going pretty good in an hour.
It's GRRRROWLY!

Now, if anyone wants to part with an EB-O bridge that isn't such a wreck, let me know!

You got the neck straightened out and playable? How's it sound?

Couldn't tell because my kid has school and I strung it back up after 10.

But quick test, way more growl and low end than my Peavey Foundation.
It's playable and intonates, I just have to keep the action a bit high because of the slight bump.

The neck is chunky and round.

Might actually have DiMarzios. They sound good and look the bizness

Nice score! My first ever bass was a Hondo II back in 1985 - these pics are like a trip down memory lane.

get that hump fixed and rock that bad boy, I'd take one of these any day!
