BIG.J Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) [size=5]Hi Guys! Time to make room for something else!! On offer once again as buyer was short of cash & never even got to view it!!! Here is my Hohner Professional 'the jack' headless bass. [b]Specs = Zero Fret 24 frets EMG Select soapbar (Humbucker Type) Pickups. Active/Passive toggle switch with LED light! Volume/Volume & Active stack pots. Natural stained finish[/b] It must be around 15 years old. It has been well looked after, it plays perfectly and has no problems with sound, pickups, electronics etc. It has a great live sound with its active pickup and is finished in a lovely deep rosewood colour. There are a few small laquer cracks/chips and bumps in the body, a small scratch on the back and a bump in the fifth fret under the fretboard (this doesn't affect the playing at all though) I hope you can see the affected areas in the photos. Overall it is in good condition, plays perfectly and looks great. The neck is straight and the action is low! Too low for some but most of my playing comes before the twelth fret! Strings will need a change but have been cleaned & Boiled! Comes with a new battery! Battery cover is mint not like many others that snap at the hinge! [b]##### £200 (SOLD) ##### Postage will be Parcelforce 48!! Come on lads!! Quick sale needed, Trying on Basschat before auctioning on Ebay, Most of these basses advertised on Ebay are in very very poor condition?? Please note that the Bass will be supplied with its original strap conectors not the silver strap lock ones as in photo's[/b] [b]Thanks ! Justin[/b][/size] Edited December 23, 2008 by xverminate
Prosebass Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Sounds very reasonable for a very capable bass....have a bump on me.
grosa Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 i had one of these years and years ago and loved it to bits! 200 quid im temped myself.
OutToPlayJazz Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Brings back memories... I had a Jack Professional identical to this one when I was a student. Excellent bass for the money. I replaced it with my first Status in 1990. Have a nostalgic *BUMP* on me
BIG.J Posted December 15, 2008 Author Posted December 15, 2008 All PM's answered, I have picked up a mint laminated Washburn Status 1000 in its original case. I used this washburn model many years ago whilst at school and loved it! The Hohner is a cracking bass for the money and my old man has the exact same model, Wouldn't have sold it but picked up a bargin with the S1000. Grab a bargin!! Cheers Justin.

Peter Train Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I saw one of these played at the Bass day in Manchester and had a go on it later. Its a great sounding bass and I'd love one. How I wish I had the £200 spare. Pete

Text me to say money was tight and he will have to pull out of the deal! Needs to go? Donna's asking questions as my new bass turned up and i still have the Jack!
Fraktal Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) This could be really useful for the next owner of this bass: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Steinberger-Hohner-Cort-Headless-String-Adapter_W0QQitemZ220332813415QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar_Accessories?hash=item220332813415&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318"]Single ball strings adapter for headless basses (evilbay link)[/url] I made a similar piece many years ago for my old Hohner with the help of an artisan, though not so shiny and polished, it was priceless!
