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Introduced in 1956, the Höfner 500/1 bass was originally made in small production numbers and sold in only a few European countries.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.
With their unique combination of carved solid spruce top, flat back, toasters pickups and black binding,
1960 models are amongst the rarest and prettiest 500/1 basses.
This all original bass from late 1960 is in stunning condition
and features a beautiful one piece maple back.
Complete with original black Winter hard case.
