A re creation of the revered original.
In 1956, Walter Hofner had an idea for an amplified semi acoustic bass. When it was brought to life, his idea resulted in a bass with a warm, woody, double bass like amplified tone. Many players revere Hofner basses for their historical significance as well as for their smooth, sweet sound and playing ease that eludes most ordinary basses.
Because the original bass guitar had become so scarce and expensive, popular demand compelled Hofner to re create the Club Bass 500/2. The new Hofner 500/2 Club Bass shares the feel, tone, and many features of the Hofner Vintage '63 but with a more traditional guitar body profile and a single cutaway.
