This is the model 5000/1 by the famous german luthier "Höfner". During the golden age of German guitar making in the 1950s and 1980s, Höfner produced a variety of instruments that gained worldwide recognition. Many musicians, including Paul McCartney, relied on Höfner guitars throughout their careers due to the brand's exceptional craftsmanship.

What a find! The 5000/1 was the luxus version of the 500/1. Featuring high quality woods, ornaments and better details while being fully hand made. On top of that, this was factory fitted with Schaller top oft he line Pickups instead of the normal ones. They made five of those and this is one of them! What a beauty!

The bass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows minimal wear, as shown in the pictures. The electronics are fully functional, with smooth switches and potentiometers. The pickups produce a rich, vintage sound, perfect for the 1970s and 1980s music stlye. The neck is straight and the action is low, making it comfortable to play. This beauty is ready to play and produce beautiful music.

The bass can be played immediatly.

If you have any questions left, or if you need more pictures, feel free to ask :-)

About shipping:

I ship worldwide with DHL and with the DHL-shipping insurance wich goes up to 500€. I am not going to lie to you or blandish a possible transport risk like some other people do. International shipping can be dangerous and packages are sometimes treated roughly. If you however choose to have an international shipment, I will do my absolute best to protect the guitar. I have collected a lot of experience in the past on how to ship a guitar securely. I will take photos of the packaging and the exact condition of the guitar right before I ship it. You should know, that after shipping the guitar and entering the shipping number, I am not responsible for anything anymore and my  job is done. But I will gladly back you up with the insurance case with said photos and exact details in the rare case anything goes wrong. The standart insurance I ship all guitars with is up to 500€. If you want a higher insurance, you can get that, just ask me first. Some countrys outside of the EU also have import taxes, be aware of that. Please note, that international shipping can sometimes take very long, on average 2 weeks for EU shipping and 1 month for intercontinental shipping, but it can take up to 3 times that time in some very rare cases.

Legal:

Taxation after UStG §25a. I usually take back everything you buy from me within 14 days after the arrival of the package. The conditions are, that everything is in the original condition I shipped it in and the shipping costs are carryed by the buyer.
