1967 Hofner Violin Beatle Bass - Sunburst

The 1967 Hofner Violin Beatle Bass in Sunburst finish is a cherished vintage instrument known for its distinctive shape and warm, resonant tones. Weighing just 4 lbs. 3 oz, this bass boasts a lightweight, ergonomic design that ensures comfortable playability. While it exhibits some player wear, as expected for an instrument of its age, this only adds to its vintage charm. Notably, there is a lacquer crack on the heel of the neck and headstock wings, a common occurrence as the finish has shrunk over time. These imperfections are superficial and do not affect the instrument's performance.  Missing Pickguard.

This Hofner bass has been recently restrung with fresh LaBella Beatle bass flat wounds, enhancing its iconic, mellow sound. The package includes a reissue Hofner case, providing secure protection for the bass. Known for its association with iconic musicians, particularly Paul McCartney of The Beatles, the Hofner Violin Bass is a timeless piece that continues to inspire. Whether you're a collector or a musician aiming to capture a classic sound, this instrument brings both historical significance and musical excellence.
