SHOW YOUR DISTRESSED FINISHES!

[BassJuju]

Ok... distressed finish #2. This J is unlike any other I've played. Superior feel and action with amazing growl. The stack pots are cool and give lots of versatility. Truly, she's amazing to look at sounds even better.

Oh me, oh my. I wish that were I Me Mine.

Thought I would throw in again a few guitars that have some interesting finishes as well.

I've seen him with a few Hofners, and I think he bought this one already beat up a bit. I could be wrong.

I'm curious about those p/ups. They don't look familiar.

could just be my eyes tho'.
or my memory.

Those are Hofner "blade" pickups, started around later 66 IIRC.

 

[Doctor Intrepid]

Those are the blade p/ups. Hofner doesn't use them in many production basses now, as the early 60s' reissues are their main production basses. Nonetheless, they used the blade p/ups in the 'Standard' version of the 500/1 from around 67 to the early 90s. So you can find a lot of 500/1s with them. If you don't know already, they are a type of single coil. I actually prefer them.

It's true Ivan - that is the most road-worn Hofner I've ever seen.
