I just purchased this Hofner CT Bass, my second one. I also have a red one. We’ve had a financial bump in the road and I cannot financially justify, owning 2 CTs. It is brand new and has been used once. I put GHS tape wound strings on and there is no case. This bass retails for 69.00 which includes the case which retails for 0.00. That would make the bass alone retail for 99.00. You can have this one for 00.00 shipped to the lower 48. Outside the lower 48 the price is 75.00 plus shipping. This is one of only 76 made. PM me if you are interested. Here are the specs and info:

22 frets
Maple-beech-maple set neck
Neck width at nut 1 5/8″

Hofner H500/1-CT Contemporary Series Violin Bass Guitar
A year after celebrating the 50th anniversary of Walter H&omul;fner’s original violin bass, made famous by a certain Beatle that shall remain nameless, they have decided to produce a contemporary version. With a vintage look that will produce many “oohs”, and an internal sustain block that creates a more modern, deep-resonating sound that will produce many “aahs”, it’s the kind of bass guitar people love to see, play, and hear. Aesthetically, this model features a maple-beech-maple set neck with rosewood fretboard accentuated by mother-of-pearl dot inlays, the signature H&omul;fner violin bass headstock, a brass trapeze tailpiece, and glossy spruce top with glossy flamed maple back and sides. An ebony bridge with movable metal saddles maintain intonation and string spacing. The nickel-plated hardware and floating celluloid pearl pickguard give it an extra little pop for the eyes. On the electronics side, you’re working with two original H&omul;fner 511B ‘Staple’ humbucking pickups, as well as a control panel with 2 volume controls, 2 on/off switches, and a rhythm/solo switch for volume boost. The overall sound is warm like the original model, but with a little more sonic kick for a more “now” sound. All in all, this alteration of Walter’s original guitar is as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the ears.
