Hofner 182 Professional Bass from early 1960s
Solid body - all original parts, and electronics
- (i think besides of a volume knobs (but im not sure from which era/brand they are).


Body - not sure but it looks like a mahogany inside a neck cavity
Body have a lacquer checking - nothing serious - just nice real vintage wear marks.

Rosewood freatbord, and maple neck with stunning grain.
Neck is straight - frets still have a lot of hight - and will not cause a problem for a long time.
On the headstock (front and back) there is some wear of the lacquer - only lacquer was like "sanded off" - but I dont know a story behind this.


Electronics - all original, untouched / no mods or changes. No hum or nois - working perfectly fine.


Im not a bass player - so I kept this one for project home recording - but that one should be used, and appriciated a lot more.
Becouse of its short scale, and nice round but narrow neck it was perfect for me as occasional bass player.


Very original - vintage warm, mellow, but also very responsive and rich sounding instrument.
Neck / action / intonation is after setup on 45-100 Ernie Ball strings.


Can ship allover Europe / also can be picked up (in Krakow area).
For shiping it will be packed in hard box with protection inside - but also shipment will be insured.

In case of need any additional / detailed photos - please dont hesitate to ask.
