fryer Posted March 4, 2011 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. Edited February 9, 2012 by fryer
AndyTravis Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 miss my Hofner Cavern, too skint at this moment in time to help you, but if i was buyig another Hofner, this would be it - beautiful. Good price too! Andy
fryer Posted March 12, 2011 Author Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) Bump for a lovely lightweight bass. Very similar to the one on your left. Edited March 12, 2011 by fryer
fryer Posted May 2, 2011 Author Posted May 2, 2011 Still for sale. They cost around £1600 new, so a good price.
jontywisp Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 what's the action like on this bass? and what year is it? thanks
fryer Posted September 20, 2011 Author Posted September 20, 2011 sorry jonty, been working abroad and just seen your questions. The action is fine, as it's been set up by Joe White. Not sure about the year. It's still for sale. Offers ? .

Dad3353 Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Good afternoon, fryer... I've posted this to the Hofner forum which I visit daily... [url="http://www.hofner.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=2589"]http://www.hofner.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=2589[/url] ...I'll remove it, of course, if you have an objection... ([i]Damned shame to be married, sometimes, it would be taken otherwise[/i]... )
Dr H Posted December 29, 2011 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.
fryer Posted December 30, 2011 Author Posted December 30, 2011 Thank you Dad. I used to get the 353 bus to school, a long time ago.
Dad3353 Posted December 30, 2011 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..!
Ian Thomson Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Hello, how do I go about buying this off you please? Thanks, Ian.

fryer Posted January 26, 2012 Author 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
