Vibrating G String Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Hohner Jack Bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Yep - Hohner The Jack bass, made in Korea by Cort, late 80s/early 90s, hardware licensed by Steinberger. Btw Hohner & Hofner are entirely separate brands, and Hofner have never made anything like this! Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Definitely a hohner jack. The hardware looks identical to the bits on my 1986 hohner b2a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably nearer the lower end of that bracket in the current market. Edit - in fact there's one on ebay now (albeit with jazz pickups rather than humbuckers) with a BIN of £250.

Happy Jack Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Miki, if you're in Italy then sell the bass in Europe. Thanks to currency exchange movements, you'll probably get a much better price in Euros than in UK Pounds Sterling. Ciao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got £100 for my more up to date Professional Custom minter, but that was down to bad luck I think. I'd be after £150 - £180 but I could be wrong, and it's really down to how you list it on the bay. They go in and out of fashion like there's no tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
