guybrush threepwood Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]Due to me taking a bit of a hiatus from bass playing to focus on other projects, I've decided to sell my Hofner. I bought it on here last year, from Owen (hope he doesn't mind me reusing his pictures). The original topic can be found [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/211980-hofner-5003-1963-sold/page__p__2137206__hl__hofner%20senator__fromsearch__1#entry2137206"]here[/url]. I'm asking for £400 which is what I paid for it. It's all original, and full of woody thump. There is also a hardcase, but to quote Owen's thread: "[i][color=#282828]This case has more mojo than Muddy Waters. This case looks like it stepped out to the corner shop in 1969 for a packet of Rothmans and came back 30 years later after touring the States and Japan. [/color][color=#282828]This cased is [/color][b]relic'd[/b][/i][color=#282828][i], OK.[/i]" As such, it's probably not a great idea to ship the bass, but I could always meet halfway, etc. I'm based around Derby / Nottingham, but often go across to East Anglia and have jaunts up to Leeds.[/color] [color=#282828]Anyway, I shall let the photos do the talking...

guybrush threepwood Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Thanks, it pains me to sell it really, but I'm only playing bass when recording now, so I'm thinning my collection down to my fretless and my P bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guybrush threepwood Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Sorry, but I'm not really looking for any more bass stuff as I'm having a little bit of a break. Electric pianos however... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
