1960 Höfner 500/1 Violin Bass

Introduced in 1956, the Höfner 500/1 bass was originally made in small production numbers
and sold in only a few European countries.
That all changed in 1963 when a small group from Liverpool became the biggest act since Elvis.
Its lightness, ease of play, deep sound and striking shape has helped maintain its popularity to this day.

All original bass from early 1960 in near perfect condition with some light play wear,
it features a lovely two piece flame maple back.
With their unique combination of carved solid spruce top, flat back
and black bar pickups these 500/1s have a truly unique tone.
Complete with original Winter case.
