Hohner B2V 5 string headless - I haven't had a great deal of time to play around with it but if there's anything specific you need to know, please get in touch and I'll look into it

[font=Arial]OK, so just to make sure this is as clear as possible, I'll start with the bad points! [/font]

[font=Arial][u][b]This bass doesn't work[/b][/u] - No sound at all when plugged in, I've opened it up to take a look and I'm not sure what I'm looking at to be honest but it's clearly not right (see pics) - I'm not gonna do the old "it's probably an easy fix, just a bit of soldering..." etc etc as I have absolutely no idea what it's going to take to get it going again. [/font]

[font=Arial]It's clearly been 'modified' (a kind term for it) by someone at some point and now seems to have an extra switch or 2 (I think one has been put in where the LED normally is?) not sure what they were intended for as, like I've said, it doesn't work. [/font]

[font=Arial]Both pickup surrounds are cracked as though the screws were over tightened when putting the pickups back - [/font]

[font=Arial]Also the strap button has been moved, so there's now a hole in the back where that was/should be [/font]

[url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/13047989_10156766498340573_2281792845681307572_o_zpswrtlhhge.jpg.html"][/url]
[font=Arial]The good points - [/font]

[font=Arial]It's in fairly good condition aside from the botched electronics, cracked pickup surround and moved strap button - with a few dings to the bass (see pics) but it's certainly not battered [/font]

[url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/13055156_10156766498415573_5320586402656181171_o_zpswbo2fmjo.jpg.html"][/url]

The leg rest (thankfully) hasn't been modified and works well

[url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/13055210_10156766498295573_4387876283609074147_o_zpsbc2qtbfg.jpg.html"][/url]

[font=Arial]It comes in a fitted hard case which is also in good working order, again a few scrapes and dings.[/font]

[font=Arial]I've priced it based on listings I've seen on here and ebay and (hopefully) tried to make it reasonable, considering the repairs needed.[/font]

[font=Arial]Collection would be good (Plymouth - PL4 0PA), or I'm happy to ship for an extra £20 to mainland UK addresses. [/font]

[font=Arial]Any questions please PM me and I'll try to answer them[/font]

[font=Arial]Cheers![/font]

It's actually a B2V which has been converted to active. The strap button move is a good idea, keep meaning to move mine in the same way.

Ahhhhh.... how did I not notice that?!? Yes, hence it says B2V on it and not B2[i][u][b]A[/b][/u][/i]V. I think sometimes I just see what I want to see. Cheers for the heads up!

The one I owned had this, I tried it both ways and it made no difference to how it behaved.

Ta very much! I'm open to offers on this, probably not trades/part exchanges - as strangely there's not much I really want at the moment.... although... try me, you never know
