Hofner 500/1 Vintage 62 Violin Bass 2009 – Pre-Owned

Based on Paul McCartney’s 1962 Violin Bass, the ’62 bass has delighted Hofner aficionados by replicating details of the original. For example, the “strip” machine heads, the slot-head screws on the hardware, and the two-piece neck are authentic touches that connect this instrument to an earlier time. In the Vintage ’62 Höfner has created a replica of Paul’s bass historically accurate enough to satisfy even the most demanding Beatles fan. Authentic replica of the ’62 model which Paul still plays live on stage today. Original ’62 neck size for sustain and playability.

This 2009 bass is in excellent condition and comes with a fitted case. The lacquer has gracefully settled into the spruce top, giving it a rich, vintage character, while the binding has developed a beautiful, classic yellow patina.
