fryer Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) I bought this used 2 years ago, and have used it for rehearsals and a few gigs. Reluctantly selling as I need the money. I'm gonna use my old Framus, which is very similar in style and feel. It has no marks apart from some scratches to the varnish on the back, which may polish out. Fitted with flatwound strings. Complete with original aluminium case. Extremely light weight, well balanced, and easy to play. Looking for £850. Minor Edit - this a short scale, 30", bass.

Dad3353 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Good afternoon, fryer... I've posted this to the Hofner forum which I visit daily...

Dr H Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'd be very tempted by this were I not currently looking at buying a V63 500/1 reissue. Very good price, hope somebody snaps it up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Good afternoon, Richard... The '33' is country code for France, '53' Dept. code (Mayenne...). I had a fleeting thought that we may have crossed paths, 'til I remembered that my school bus was the 285..! 'twould have been strange coincidence indeed to encounter an Old Hamptonian here..! Quite sincere about the bass, though. If I was selfish, I would hope it to be still available it a few months time. I have an excellent Hofner Verithin, but yours really is a corker, even the good lady found it pretty..! On our Hofner site, the main focus is on 'vintage' guitars and basses, but contemporaries are also of interest (and will become vintage in time..!). Yours is a very good example of that principle. Hope for your sake it goes quickly ; secretly hoping for mine that I can PM you at a later date to arrange shipping..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fryer Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 No, ( Mr Happy ) not the school, or ( Dad ) the county. Now in hampshire, but started life in Buckinghamshire. Ian, sorry, just seen your reply. If you're still interested, please send me a message. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
