Mid 1960s Höfner 185 shortscale bass.


--> last picture is a demo video


Plays great.

The original 511B "staple" pickups read about 8k Ohm nec and 9k bridge.

This bass has heavy wear especially on the sides.

With 2,9 kg this bass is lighter than many guitars.

Everything works as should.



Specs:

  • Nut width: 45 mm
  • Action low E at 12th fret: 2,8 mm
  • Weight: 2,9 kg
  • Scale 760 mm



If you want more pictures or have a question, just send me a message.



The guitar is comletely checked, set up and ready to play.



Shipping details: The instrument will be shipped with DHL. If you want another currier, let me know. The guitar will be packed well in a sturdy box and with enough suitable packaging material like bubble foil. There is always a certain risk, especially when shipping oversea. But over the last years I shipped many instruments and had not a single damage.

My service for all guitars:
- the guitars/basses I sell play well and are restored, setup and working (frets, neck angle, tuners, electronics etc...)
- the insruments are worth their money and will in many cases increase in value with time
- if you decide the instrument is not the right one for you, I take everything back within two weeks (buyer pays for shipping)
- if you need more information or pictures let me know
