1964 Höfner 500/5 Semiacoustic Bass - Sunburst
1964 Höfner 500/5 Semiacoustic Bass - Sunburst incl. orig. hardshell case
Incredible clean and rare 1964 Höfner 500/5 Semiacoustic Bass in Sunburst, all original and in "mint" condition. We don´t know much about the history of this bass, but we can tell, that this instrument has propably never been played! The condition is sheer amazing, no visible playwear, no finish fading, no weatherchecking, the original frets are stil like brandnew! The playability is great, never had a neck-reset and the two famous Höfner "staples" humbucking pickups sound just great. The bass isextremely lightweight, well balanced and real fun to play. Hard to believe its not a brandnew Custom-shop model ;-) Comes in its orig. black Höfner hardshell case with green lining, which is also in incredible clean condition, trussrod tool, and brown leather strap.
