 It's funny I was watching a bunch of things on ebay, a couple of Hiwatts, a Scehecter Ultra bass and a whole bunch more this thing spoke to me and over road all my other whims.........weird. The big plus is it was a lot less than everything else  ;D

Pictures as promised :) The bass came strung with LaBella Deep Taking Flats 760FHB2 .039-.096 Great sounding strings I ordered them for my other Kliras and Hofner. The are designed specifically for Hofners. This bass is in great condition, note the rather plain one piece back. My first Klira with the open back tuners, I am surprised how well they work. The control knobs even have the little rubber rings!
