Höfner 500/1 1961 "Cavern" - Replica av Beatles' fiolinbass

Den legendariske bassen er tilbake fra 1961.  Her får du både sound, feel og autentisk 60-talls rock. 

Denne bassen er håndlaget i Tyskland av den samme familien som i 1961, nemlig Karl Höfner og hans etterkommere. Akkurat denne modellen er designet i 1956 av Walter Höfner og har siden den gang blitt en legende i rockens og musikkens historie.

Höfner har bygget fioliner siden 1887 og er Tysklands største strengeinstrumentprodusent.

 The Hofner 500/1 Violin Bass was designed by Walter Hofner and launched at the Frankfurt Music Messe in 1956. It has since gone on to become one of the most recongisable electric bass guitars in the music world in terms of both looks and sound.

The Hofner 500/1 'Cavern' Violin Bass takes it's name from the Cavern Club in Liverpool, England. Opened in 1957 this Club was one of the most important small clubs in Europe for bands trying to make it big in the Beatboom era. In 1960 the first beat night session was held featuring Rory Storm and the Hurricanes with Ringo Starr on drums and by mid 1961 the Merseybeat scene was in full flow with the Beatles and the Cavern Club centre stage.

Inspired by the original 1961 model which was purchased by Paul McCartney in Hamburg. Fully hollow body. Original '61 Neck profile. Also available in left-handed version.

Including a Hofner Vintage strap and Hofner case.
