stoker Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) Didn't think we had any Hofner porn so I thought I'd start with my '63 Verithin. Edited July 2, 2011 by stoker Quote
Cat Burrito Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Good idea for a thread. I assumed the Beatle bass would crop up first, but no So continuing the verithin series (sadly not a 63) Quote

mikbass Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) I have a -64 club bass. Got it ridiculously cheap and it's getting restored as we speak. Here it is next to an Italian cousin. Edited May 22, 2015 by mikbass Quote
EssentialTension Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1432148389' post='2778691'] Take a look at Post #10 ... weird or what? [/quote] Very weird. Quote
cybertect Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) I'll join in if I may My 1967 Verithin, which I bought in 1988. It was the first bass I ever owned and I doubt I'll ever part with it, since it's exactly as old as I am.

[/quote] Very nice, and complete with pick guard, too. Have you registered it with Steve Russell's excellent site..? Your only bass, or is it 'that special one', for the quality recordings..? Any particular style of playing..? Edited November 3, 2015 by Dad3353 Quote
nodwisely Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Anyone have any informed ideas about how much this might be worth? I have inherited it and am looking for the best price. No scratchplate and a few minor dings, also I am guessing the electrics for the active bass boost might need some attention, but it makes a noise without. Its apparently a 5000 1b although that doesn't mean a lot to me it might to someone else. Quote
