Here we have a classic, clean Hofner 500/1 Violin Bass from 1964. This is a superb example in the classic sunburst finish. This one is currently strung with flatwound strings that sound amazing. It is in great conditon for its age, with no big marks on it other than some small lacquer peel on the back of the body, as to be expected of a bass this age. Included is a non original Hofner shaped hardcase.
