Vintage Hofner Professional Bass, probably 1963/4, with lead and (pretty battered) case - needs work, though

As far as I can tell, the pickup is not working - presumably needs rewinding or replacing so, while the wiring looks OK, I've not been able to test it, hence the guitar being sold as is.

The body is in good condition for the age, the neck feels good and the tuners work so a worthwhile project for someone with more skills than me.

The case is pretty battered but will offer some protection, and I'll remove the neck anyway - I'm also more than happy for the buyer to collect from me in Southampton or to discuss meeting somewhere at a cost.

Please note that this is a used instrument, with signs of wear not all of which will have been photographed - if you have any questions or concerns, please contact me before bidding

Here are a couple of websites to help confirm the age and model, and also to give an idea of the value in good working order:
