| Cosmetic Condition: | This vintage Hofner bass shows nice aging, with finish checking and light knocks and dings on the glossy finish. There is some wear on the top of the body between the pickups as well. |
| Serial Number: | 28798 |
| Tech Notes: | The bass plays well with medium action; the bass is currently set up with light gauge flatwound strings as the truss rod adjustability is limited. The original narrow frets are low with light play wear. This model dates to the 1960s; there is a serial number on the headstock from the original distributor, however it does not provide more precise dating. |
