USED Hofner / 500/1 Shark Fin PU Sunburst [11]

Hofner's unique 1990s violin bass with Shark Fin PU
The H?fner 500/1 "Shark Fin PU" is a 1990s violin bass with a unique bar-blade pickup. It features a sweet, warm tone and rich sound due to its lightweight semi-hollow construction. The short scale makes it easy to handle, and the classic looks and unique sound make it perfect for retro players.
The bridge on the first string side is lowered and the string height is 3.5mm~3.2mm, but the string tension is soft and there is no problem for playing.
The pick guard is missing.
Overall, the paint is a little cloudy, and there are some minor scratches and dents.
Item Rank: B+: Some scratches, but no problems in normal use.
