Hofner 500/1 Vintage 63 Electric Bass Guitar
Hofner 500/1 Vintage '63 Violin Bass Guitar
Also available Left Handed and fretless

Musicians love the Hofner 500/1 Vintage '63 Violin Bass Guitar. In 1956, Walter Hofner had an idea for an amplified semi-acoustic bass. When it was brought to life, it proved to be a unique instrument with a smooth, sweet sound and a playing ease that eludes most ordinary basses. Many players revere Hofner's Violin Bass as a legend because of its historical significance and its warm, woody, double-bass-like amplified tone. Named for the year the most familiar version of the Violin Bass was popularized by Paul McCartney, the Vintage '63 captures its characteristic tone -- deep, warm and reminiscent of a full-sized string bass. Built to be as durable as its legacy, the compact-sized, easy-to-play, light-in-weight Vintage '63 is equally at home onstage or in the studio.
