sbrag Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) [color=#333333]Hohner The Jack headless bass for sale which dates from the late 80s / early 90s. [/color] BC Only price drop to £170 plus postage [color=#333333]I bought this about a month ago as a back up bass with no stings a broken pre amp and badly set up. This has now all been professionally fixed, cleaned and now plays beautifully and I am very tempted to keep it, but I have just bought another bass which means that this is now surplus to requirements. [/color] [color=#333333]There are a couple of minor dents on the front which you can only see when you look closely and a couple of scuffs on the back which you would expect for a bass of this age. As far as I know it is all origional and it is strung with a set of Bass Centre Elites 45-105. It sounds great bass in with 2 powerful J pickups and a 2 band active eq. The only other slight issue to note is that the tuners are little stiff, especially on the G string but all work ok.[/color] [color=#333333]Photos at : [/color][url="https://www.dropbox.com/sc/u1a99h7mdy71lfm/AABLmc0em9XjY_CvfUBxxVjva"]https://www.dropbox.com/sc/u1a99h7mdy71lfm/AABLmc0em9XjY_CvfUBxxVjva[/url] Sorry not the greatest quality but its a very reflective bass. [color=#333333]I am happy to post at buyers cost and risk (approx £20) and the bass will be bubble wrapped inside its padded gig bag and then put in a strong box and sent by insured courier. I am also open to offers and possibly trades/px but it has to be very tempting as I would much prefer a straight sale. [/color] [color=#333333]You are welcome to try it and please let me know if you have any other questions.

Myke Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 [quote name='sbrag' timestamp='1413973256' post='2584164'] Ump - thats a headless bump [/quote]
sbrag Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 Price drop bump to £200 plus £10 to the bass relay. Got my eye on a couple of things and could do with selling this.
Davy Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I knew one of these would come up for sale after I had just bought another bass on here!
sbrag Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 You can always have one more bass and its only little and doesnt take much room! (Thats the argument I'm trying to talk myself out of for keeping it!)
sbrag Posted October 31, 2014 Author Posted October 31, 2014 Haloween style things that go BUMP in the night and the headless bassman!
sbrag Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 Make me an offer type bump. Perfect for the low cost Mark King or John Rhino Edwards tributes who need a great affordable headless bass.
HengistPod Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Gratuitous bump-support. For anyone thinking about this ... I have one and it's very handy for keeping in the living room for the odd fiddle-about. As stated, they're very compact - smaller than a 6-string, I'd wager - so they don't take up the missus-annoying space that a regular bass does. And they sit on their bum on the floor without a stand, so are even less noticeable round the side of the sofa. Also, you really can get a great sound out of them.
sbrag Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 Thanks. It is very light compact with very powerful pickups.
sbrag Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) Final price drop bump £180 plus postage. Or may trade for pa gear for a 4 price band suitable for pubs / smaller venues. Edited November 6, 2014 by sbrag
sbrag Posted November 9, 2014 Author Posted November 9, 2014 Theres a whole lotta bumping going on. Come on you know you want this. Great bass for the money headless isn't for me though.
sbrag Posted November 21, 2014 Author Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Thought about putting it on ebay but thought I'd shave another £10 of here first. £170 anyone or make me a sensible offer. I've been playing it today and this little thing has so much bottom end it makes the house shake! Edited November 21, 2014 by sbrag
sbrag Posted November 24, 2014 Author Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Bump to the top. Trades for PA kit or cash only please. Edited November 25, 2014 by sbrag
sbrag Posted November 27, 2014 Author Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) Bump go on then £160 final drop. Please don't make me put it on fee Bay. Edited November 27, 2014 by sbrag
Davy Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 I don't suppose you've got any decent quality sounds samples of it that could be uploaded? There's not very many good examples to listen to on Youtube.
sbrag Posted November 27, 2014 Author Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) I dont I'm afraid. Best I could do would be to record some on my phone but it won't be the best quality. It does a really wide range of tones given the jazz set up with active passive switch. It has more bottom End than any other bass I've owned really good dub/reggae tone to and bright modern for slap and the passive sound is nice and mellow. Cheers Steve Edited November 27, 2014 by sbrag
Davy Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Thanks for the info. Is the crack that's shown at the end of the neck just a laquer crack or does it go through into the wood?
sbrag Posted November 27, 2014 Author Posted November 27, 2014 Just lacquer its only cosmetic just wanted to show it to be honest about condition.
