Hofner CT 500/1 with upgrades

Post by rdavidson »

I'm selling my excellent condition left-handed Hofner CT 500/1 with upgraded knobs and control plate from a German made one so it looks more authentic. It has La Bella Beatle Bass black nylon flat wound strings on it just like Sir Paul uses. This is not a German made one but it’s miles better than the cheaper Ignition series (which I’ve owned). I bought this bass from Carmine about 6 years ago, so chime in if I got anything wrong. :-) Because this Contemporary CT model is sorta rare-ish and it has the upgrades, I’d like to get $850 + actual shipping costs.

Hey Richard- you got everything right ;) ... Looks every bit as lovely as it did 6 years ago, one of the nicest CT's I've seen. Great sounding bass too- does a great job of capturing the classic German 500/1 sound... but for tone and versatility the CT is a much more capable bass!
