Hofner 500/1 ’59 Violin Bass
Product Description
For our new H500/1-59-0 model we chose vintage specs of the late 1950s models blended with the world famous Violin Bass models of the early 1960s.
The result is a stunning new model of a German H500/1 Violin Bass, finished in a warm & mellow “Tobacco Burst” high gloss finish. It is equipped with the legendary vintage features such as the iconic Höfner retro Headstock logo, a flat maple back and original Höfner Toaster pick ups.
