Hofner Senator Bass, made in Germany circa 1964.

A beautiful example, purchased from Selmer (London) and paired with its original Selmer fitted tweed hard case.

 

Previously owned by a working musician who I believe purchased it new and played many a gig with it. It's developed a beautiful authentic patina, namely below the low E where string where the previous owner would rest their picking hand.

 

All original, save for the odd screw! It's had a (much needed, as with many Hofners) neck reset and as such is playing fantastically with a comfortable action.

 

Specs:

  • Country of origin: Germany
  • Year of manufacture: 1964
  • Model: Senator Bass
  • Fully hollow body with single cutaway
  • Sunburst finish
  • Rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays
  • Raised Hofner logo to headstock
  • Original Selmer-supplied tweed case

 

Condition:

In great condition for a 61 year old guitar. Well used, but free of any breaks, cracks or repairs and just about all-original. Neck is straight and playing well. An excellent sound from the lone Hofner pickup, which I believe was the same unit used on Violin basses of the same period. The original case is well-worn but complements the bass beautifully. The handle has come loose, but it is a rare find in its own right and protects the guitar well.

 

Modifications/repairs:

Discretely performed neck reset, 1x gearhead and screw replaced on G tuner. Pickguard removed very early on in its life (as is the case with most of these models).

 

Accessories:

Original Selmer-supplied tweed hard case.
