Paul McCartney first picked up a Hofner 500/1 Violin Bass in 1961, and by '62 the Fab Four's bass player was fast on his way to re-inventing the role of the instrument for a modern musical setting. This Vintage '62 Violin Bass gives you the same amazing experience, providing you with timeless sound, style, and playing comfort - and now you can have it all in a cool and unique finish, hand selected by Sweetwater's guitar experts. Between its toneful flame maple and spruce construction and its classic Hofner Staple humbuckers, this Vintage '62 Violin Bass delivers the warm, woody, and vibrant sound that held down the back beat of the golden age of rock and roll.
