SOLD! Body from Hondo II H-1015 £25 posted £25 South Benfleet

[Paul S]

Here is the body from an early 80s Hondo II professional H-1015 that became a neck donor for a Frankenstein bass.  No idea of the wood but it is wood, not MDF, and HEAVY at 3.2kg.  Gloss black finish in pretty good nick - a few scuffs and scratches but no major dings.  Standard size Precision pickup routing, wiring loom and knobs still in situ, as are strap buttons.  Neck pocket is 70mm deep, 57mm wide and 28mm thick.  Three mounting points for a Gibson-style 3-point bridge are embedded into the body in place for a MEDIUM SCALE 32" neck.  There is plenty of room in the body to move a new bridge backwards for a 34" scale neck to be fitted, if that floats your boat (for which this could be used as an anchor as it is heavy). 

This would be absolutely perfect for modding as it would give you a Precision bass sound but, with the double cutaway, a completely different look to a Fender.  I imagine a long scale neck is unlikely to make it neck dive because the body is, erm, heavy.

Asking just £25 including postage.  A decent chunk of which would go on posting as it is heavy.

Collect from Benfleet in Essex for £15 and I'll help you into the car with it.

Oh, and it is heavy.

Is it heavy?

Sorry - couldn't help myself.

That's a brilliant looking body, it's amazing it looks so clean after so many years.
