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
