Hofner 500/1 '63 Artist Model, Made in Germany
With our new efficient production, we can offer a high quality bass at an excellent price. It is ideal for those looking for an authentic violin bass: artists, enthusiasts, Beatle bands, and everyone who wants the unique sound of this world-famous instrument. This model is based on the 500/1 from 1963, with two "staple" pickups, "2-on-a-strip" machine heads, a fully-fledged resonance body and a slim, two-piece shortscale neck without bezels. There is of course the famous control panel, the mother-of-pearl-colored pickguard and with a flamed maple back and sides and a spruce top it is authentic in every way. The robust high-gloss poly finish ensures that this bass will be a long-term companion - whether in the rehearsal room or live on stage! Equipped with flatwound strings, the tone has everything you would expect from a traditional 500/1 bass. That's the great sound from the 1960s! Delivery in Höfner quality case.
