Reverb Estimated Used Price Range

Though not nearly as iconic as the 500/1 Violin bass, the President bass was another Hofner-made instrument distributed by Selmer in the United Kingdom. Since European guitars and basses were much cheaper in the UK than American-made instruments, many notable British musicians got their start of Hofners.
