OVERVIEW

An iconic bass with a slim neck and warm, woody tone.

The Hofner H500/1 Vintage 1964 Violin Electric Bass Guitar has a slimmer neck profile than previous year models. White celluloid neck binding also distinguishes the V64 from the other German made violin basses. The light weight of the fully hollow body will be appreciated after a long night's playing. Includes Hofner case.

In 1956, Walter Hofner had an idea for a violin shaped semi-acoustic bass. Launched at that years Frankfurt Music Show, his idea revolutionized popular music and with continuous production from 1956 this bass is one of the few guitars available today that can trace it's origins back to the very beginning of rock 'n' roll.

Many players revere Hofner's Violin Bass as a legend because of its historical significance and its warm, woody, double-bass-like amplified tone. For a detailed chronology of the Violin Bass' role in the British Invasion, check out Backbeat Books Beatles Gear: All The Fab Four's Instruments From Stage To Studio (SKU#H64162). The Hofner Violin Bass is a unique instrument with a smooth, sweet sound and a playing ease that simply eludes most ordinary basses.

Includes case.

Hofner's Iconic 1962 Violin Bass!

This Vintage '62 Violin Bass gives you the same amazing experience McCartney enjoyed when he first received his favorite Hofner, providing you with timeless sound, style, and playing comfort. Between its breathtaking flame maple and spruce construction and its classic Hofner Staple humbuckers, this Vintage '62 Violin Bass delivers the warm, woody, and vibrant sound that held down the back beat of the golden age of rock and roll.

By 1962, Paul McCartney's Violin Bass had become a permanent fixture on the Beatles' bandstand. What began as a conveniently symmetrical instrument that wouldn't look too awkward flipped upside down (to accommodate McCartney's left handedness) quickly turned into a major part of the Beatles' sound. This Vintage '62 Violin Bass captures the sound, spirit, and style of this legendary bass perfectly.

Hofner Staple humbuckers deliver classic bass guitar tone

Everyone knows that the biggest contributor to your tone is the set of pickups loaded in your instrument. The Staple humbuckers that come standard on the Vintage '62 Violin Bass are designed to provide you with the same vintage bass tone that put Hofner on the map, back in the early mid '60s. So, if you're looking for that iconic warm, woody, and almost acoustic tone, then you'll be thrilled with this Vintage '62 Violin Bass!

Hofner - creating fantastic stringed instruments since 1887

Karl Hofner sold his first violins in 1887, and the Hofner company has been hand-building exceptional instruments ever since. When Sir Paul McCartney purchased a 500/1 Violin Bass to use with The Beatles, Hofner became a household name amongst musicians worldwide. With a focus on top-notch craftsmanship and tone, you'll feel and hear the difference when you get the Vintage '62 Violin Bass in your hands.
