Annoying Twit Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 From what I can see, it looks as if it might be just a case of gluing the neck back on again. I could very easily be wrong. http://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/1960-s-vintage-hofner-president-bass-guitar/1101412279 I [size=4]have no idea how much these are worth, and hence don't know if the asking price is reasonable or not. But, it certainly caught my attention seeing a Stu Sutcliffe bass on my local gumtree.[/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK Jale Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Nice project on first look but the real shame is that it's been a leftie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 In prime condition that might be worth £1000 or so. It's not a Sutcliffe (it's a bog-standard mid-60s President), and the neck reset is the least of its troubles. It's obviously beyond a full restoration and will never be worth anything like £1000 but it could probably be brought back into playable condition for c.£100-ish (reglue the neck, replace the nut, ideally replace the unmatched tuner, sort out the wiring, new strings), so it should sell for well under £500. Now watch the market prove me wrong ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
