A re creation of the famous Beatle bass.
In 1956, Walter Hofner had an idea for an amplified semi acoustic bass. When it was brought to life, his idea revolutionized popular
music. Many players revere Hofner's Violin Bass as a legend because of its historical significance and its warm, woody, double bass like amplified tone. The Hofner Violin Bass is a unique instrument with a smooth, sweet sound and a playing ease that simply eludes most ordinary
basses.
Based on Paul McCartney's 1962 Violin Bass, it replicates details of the original including
the "strip" machine heads, the slot head screws on the hardware, and the 2 piece neck. These are authentic touches that connect this instrument to an earlier time. In the Vintage '62 Hofner has created a replica of Paul's bass historically accurate enough to satisfy even the most demanding Beatles fan.
