SOLD - Hohner Professional JJ Bass £150

[RussFM]

***** now sold *****

 

I sold all my gear last year before moving house, and this was the first thing I bought afterwards just so I had a bass in the house, but it's just not getting played much now so I'm replacing it with something P shaped.

I bought it from Bass Direct for £150, so asking the same. It's a lot of bass for the money! Very well made, better than the Mex Fenders I've had. Schaller Licesed Tuners, Hohner branded EMG Select pickups, active/passive switch, volume, volume and stacked treble/bass. Very shallow neck profile and a pretty flat fretboard so really easy to play.

It's pretty heavy, but balances well. Very good condition for its age (early-mid 90s?). I assume it's made it the Cort factory as it's made in Korea with a C serial number.

I'd rather not post at the moment (no case or gig bag by the way), but i'm near Worcester, and in Coventry four days a week and Shropshire some weekends, so meeting around the Midlands shouldn't be a problem!

I used to lust after one of these when I was just taking up bass. Would have been late '91 so your timing is right. Haven't seen many since!

I had a Hohner fretless Jazz years ago - white with a tort plate and a really playable neck. 

 

Sold it years ago.

 

Stupid me.

I am going to miss that neck! But there's a two bass rule in our house (not my rule!) and there's currently three after it's replacement arrived today!

I hope our significant others never meet...

My first bass bought secondhand in 1995 was one like this. Ah, memories 😀
