Hofner / 1965 President 500/5 / 1965 / Bass
|
100% original parts, white knobs, the pots date 39th week 1965, condition 8.5 / 10 without damage or scratches in the body but has had a crack in the neck heel, great condition, got a neck reset a few years ago and because of this there is a shim piece in white plastic at the neck heel, otherwise nice job, has a curve in the neck but plays well if you do not expect low action, missing pickguard, no caseMore details about the playability:First; The string height at the 12th fret is close to 4mm. Feels good with flatwound strings, but it can t be lower because of the bow in the neck and the neck angle.Second: there is evidence of an old repair in the heel, probably done at the same time as the neck reset.Third: Our luthier decided to remove the zero fret and install a lower fret to make playing more comfortable at the nut.Fourth: There is a line that looks like an old stress crack at the nut, but it is stable.Just want to be super clear with the negatives to make our communication 100% honest.These basses costs 2500-2800euro normally and this one is a lot cheaper so if you want to invest some time & money in the neck you can100% originaldelar, vita rattar, pottarna daterar 39:e veckan 1965, skick 8,5/10 utan skador eller repor i kroppen, kanonfint ex, har fatt en halsomsattning for nagra ar sedan, spar av detta vid halsklacken dar det sitter en shimsbit i vit plast, annars snyggt jobb, lite kurva i halsen men spelar fint om man inte forvantar sig jattelag stranghojd, saknar plektrumskydd, inget case
