1974 SPANISH-BUILT HOFNER MODEL 500/1 BASS GUITAR

PIHER POT CODE: 4S7

 

COURTESY OF XOSÉ CRISANTO GÁNDARA, GALICIA, SPAIN:

 

 

                   

 

 

The "Made in Spain" description on the back of the bass.

 

 

       

These original tuners fitted to the bass are similar to the type that Hofner fitted onto the Hofner 185 and Artist Basses.

 

A slightly unusual control console with "large" black switches and strange pots. These were made by the Piher Company in Tudela, Navarra, Norther Spain in the 7th week of 1974. (Code No: "4S7" )

 

 

The pickups have the appearance of Hofner's Type 511 "Staples", but they have a "Super" logo stamped into the top of the case. Again, I understand that these are Spanish-made.
