Hofner Professional 1963

451

The perfect bass for guitarists! A lovely old school short scale Hofner with that magic thump, and amazingly lightweight. This bass has been refinished to a decent standard in an accurate colour and retains its original specification and electrics. These were rare when new – only produced for a very short period for Selmer. This one is in very good condition, and ready for gigging.


These basses seem to be coming back into fashion judging by the prices in the market at the moment. We’re setting this one at a realistic level to reflect the condition and the fact it has been refinished.


This comes with a padded gig bag. We also have a matching Colorama II guitar – always a deal to be done on the pair.
