I am selling this Violin Bass for £1,000 Cash Before Christmas!
I am selling a new unused very rare limited edition Hofner Violin Bass 1958 V58 500/1 reissue in classic vintage sunburst finish.There were only 58 hand crafted models made for the reissue in 2009.This is number 12,model number K 06022 E #12/58. Hofner has since stated that they have no plans to make anymore . The V58 has 2 shadow bar pickups for feedback free loud vintage tone. Cavern spacing,oval control panel,two on a strip tuners.
The bass comes in a deluxe case with strap,(in a sealed bag),a signed certificate,(signed by Dieter Fischer),a tool,a vial of paint/varnish,(attached to the inside of the case) and even includes a hydrometer also attached to the case. I bought this a few years ago as an investment however regrettably I need the money. As already stated this guitar is new and unused,(which is quite obvious to the eye) and in mint condition.

Please bring a bass amp if you would like to hear its rich warm sound as I don't play bass guitar and so do not have one. I have had it checked out by a friend of mine who makes guitars, and he pronounced it an excellent bass.
I am selling the bass for cash or bank transfer.
Please do not hesitate to ask any questions you see fit.

Collection is preferable, but can arrange delivery.
Location: Bexhill on Sea, East Sussex.

I can provide more pictures upon request and I am happy to answer any questions or queries you may have.
