itsmedunc Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) A friend of mine has one of these in mint condition with the original case which is a big bonus because of the shape. He bought it new in 78/79 and its hardly ever seen the light of day. He even thinks he has the original receipt and bumf that came with it somewhere. Schaller hardware, floating bridge etc... He has asked me to try and find out anything I can about it. I think he wants to sell but doesn't know what to ask for it. Any info greatly appreciated. I'll try and get some photos up soon... It's the same as this - [url="http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/hofner/basses/bas26.html"]http://www.vintageho...sses/bas26.html[/url] Edited November 2, 2014 by itsmedunc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mahogany, rosewood board, black name plate, Hofner written in silver, brass nut, active pup. He thinks they did a 6 and a 12 string version?
