Hawkes basses are a thing to behold if you haven’t had the pleasure before. Here’s one for sale from Jena Huebner. Interested? Email her: jenabass -at- aol.com.
About the bass (from Jena):
I need to sell my Hawkes, which I have had for (gasp) 20 years. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the bass, it is a French (I’m told) copy of a Panormo, made around 1900. It has 42 1/2 inch string length and a Mario LaMarre extension. It is definitely one of the best sounding and playing Hawkes I’ve seen. I’m asking $36,000.


Looks good, eh?

Mario doesn’t do anything easy, huh!?!? Gorgeous! Good luck selling it!

I’ve heard Jena play this bass in lessons, rep classes, master classes, and if I’m not mistaken, she won her Columbus audition on it.
It really is a great instrument.
Just one question– Jena, why are you selling it???

Where are you located. I am very interested in purchasing a bass for my daughter who is a junior in high school. She will also be playing in college.
