Near-mint (see pix), very robust Höfner violin bass case - with key! Used once only, it has never left the house (I traded the HCT I bought it for, and the upgrade - a 500/1 Artist - came with its own case). I've pictured it with the Artist in to show how snugly everything fits. There are a couple of very minor scuffs, which I've photographed, but they're very difficult to see. The current model (this one is no longer made) costs £138 on Thomann. There's one of these on Reverb at the moment for £144. I actually paid Thomann £83 for this one, so I think this is a very fair price all round. For collection from Nottingham or I can post at buyer's cost (I probably have a suitable box, and Parcelforce would be about £10 - £15, I reckon).

Way more oomph than you'd expect - far more than the TE Elf, for example, and some useful connectors too. GLWTS.

You'll have to change your name when this sells. How about woodytif (The Immediate Family)?

You need to edit the title (tap the three dots, I think, to access edit mode) with *** SOLD ***

Can’t believe this is still here. It’s an absolute classic.

Gorgeous! GLWTS

I have the long-scale version in Olympic White. If the S/S version is anywhere near as good, this is a real bargain. I hope your "hold" comes to fruition or - to put it another way - GLWTS!

Hi. You need to edit the title of your post by adding the *** SOLD *** there, so the mods can pick it up and close the thread. Congrats on the sale - I'm not surprised such a lovely instrument went quickly.

So - it's Steve Martin's favourite bass?!

I realise it is sometimes difficult to capture the exact shade of a bass when taking pix for sale - God knows, some of mine have been awful - but I think they must have been drinking when they called that colour Burgundy! Lovely bass - GLWTS.
