Spare parts for headless Hohner

Recommended Posts

I am eyeing up a a headless Hohner that needs some work (5 string), either some bridge components or a whole bridge depending on what's available. I also have a 4-string needing pickup surrounds (the humbucker type).

Does anyone know if these parts are available?

It was/is.   I had a 4 string too, only in red; great bass for what they go for.  I turned it into a fretless, at which it was great, and sold it to Bryan Adam's manager.  If Jabba's site find offers as much as I hope that will indeed be a discovery, as otherwise spares are as rare as hen's whatsits.

Is that an old Wasburn Hammerhead lurking around in the background there, the one with the metal plate in the headstock? Always wondered about those.

It is a Hammerhead :)

It's from 2005 I think - an RB-2002. Well-made with decent hardware, its a good bass. I think they were pretty expensive new but can be picked up quite cheap now. I can't say the effect of the brass is hugely noticeable but it does sound nice.

Cool - good find. I just had no way of getting to reading any time soon! 

I was looking as I am going to sell my 4 string and get a 5 string, probably one of the new steinberger ones.

Aliexpress is a possible source of 4 string bridges, which would give you the one that is missing.
