I'll be heading to Nottingham on Thursday 11th April if anyone en route fancies this.

It's very well balanced and doesn't neck dive at all. I guess the shear size of the Jazz body helps in that regard.

Agreed, a lovely thing. I've just strung it up some Bass Centre Elites and it's sounding great.

A few more pics of this beauty including the Vincent adjustment tool and polishing accessories/instructions.

£950 collected or I'll box it up if you want to arrange a courier. I can't imagine you'll find a cheaper vintage Hofner.

No I don't unfortunately.

Thanks for the suggestion 👍 I contacted Hofner and they have just confirmed that it is indeed a nitro cellulose finish.

Bump.

Ah I see what you mean, no ding just my finger trying to position the bass for the photo 👍 In other news, a Basschatter has asked if the finish is nitro or poly. I'm 95% sure it's nitro due to the feel and the way it's wearing, but does anyone know for sure?

What do you mean by the ding on the top horn? The neck cracks are in the finish, I can't feel feel them at all when I'm playing the bass.

That would be impressive! UK sale only unfortunately due to Brexit.

After discovering a Hofner owners register online I can confirm that this bass was made in 1987.

It did indeed, on ebay 😐

Bump.

I'll be driving to Hertfordshire on Friday 23rd if anyone is interested in this and can meet there or thereabouts. Open to offers.

I wouldn't mind keeping the Nordstrand pickups if anyone wants the bass without them? 👍

That'll be down to my below par photography skills, it's definitely a creamy vintage white finish 👍

EMG P pickup complete with original box, manual, full loom and accessories. I bought this for a project ages ago and forgot I had it. Pretty much mint condition.

Reluctantly I'm listing this rather rare all original 32" scale JV Squier Precision. This is from the fabled 1982-1984 Japanese production run and it's clear to see why these basses are so sort after. The neck in particular has a really lovey vintage look and feel with the mottled tuners and honest play wear from 40 odd years of use. It has some knocks on the back of the neck but I'm sure these could be rubbed out if preferred. A great thing about this bass is that it features slightly scaled down body dimensions to match the reduced 32" scale. You only really notice this when it's next to a regular FSO (see pic below), but it really makes a difference when wearing the bass. It's also very light at 3.4kg/7.5lb. It's wearing a brand new set of LA Bella Low Tension flats and it sounds wonderful.

Interesting, it's quite loud acoustically so I can see how that'd work.
