Vintage Violin Bass Reissued

Semi-Acoustic Bass Guitar / HN190841
The Höfner 500/1 violin bass, often called the Violin Bass, is intrinsically linked to the personality of Paul McCartney. This bass defined much of the sound of The Beatles with its full, round, hollow-body sound reminiscent of a double bass. Unique in design and approach among basses, it is now an absolutely unique item that anyone can afford thanks to this successful tribute to an original instrument from Vintage.

The sound is created using a hollow body without center block, which is structurally based on classic string instruments. A spruce top with a figured maple back and sides was used, while the neck is maple with a rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl position dots.

A pair of Wilkinson WDB pickups provide the pickups, while a pair of volume potentiometers and the classic period combination of Rhythm, Bass and Treble switches are used to fine-tune the sound. As usual with Vintage instruments, the other hardware comes from Wilkinson, so you can rely on its quality. A sturdy moulded case is also included.
