1965-66 Hofner 500/1

This is a sweet vintage bass that we recently took in. It has some general cosmetic wear but is in good shape overall . The only thing that isn't stock on the bass are the tuners but they are still period correct. The headstock/neck has been professionally repaired from a crack and the repair looks fantastic and has no issues. Realistically this bass currently needs a neck reset. It is playable in its current state but if you aren't used to playing something that requires some strength to play it then then it will require a bit of investment. Regardless, it sounds and looks awesome and we hope it finds a great home!
