1968 Hofner 500/1 Lefty Violin Bass
100% original, incredible condition & a wonderful player with an ultra cool vintage vibe. You will be amazed how clean this bass is! The spruce top shows off some really eye-catching wide grain & the neck is super comfortable play, up & down the fretboard. Professionally set up & ready for action straight out of the case.
Rounded maple neck with nicely aged cream binding & black side-dots. Beautiful dark rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays. Frets are in great shape with practically no wear. Closed-back tuners are in good working condition. 1 5/8" nut width with zero fret; 30" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.
Double-bound, violin-shaped body in sunburst finish. Carved spruce top with nickel trapeze tailpiece & adjustable ebony bridge. Pearloid pickguard & control plate. Maple back & sides with some light flame figuring.
Hofner "blade" pickups with large black bezels. Dual volume controls with "tea cup" knobs. Rhythm/Solo, Bass & Treble switches all in good working condition.
