Vintage 4 String Hollobody electric bass guitar from 1965, built in Germany and an iconic instrument for the ages.
"Scrambled Eggs... and Spam. Spam, spam, spam, spam."
One of the most famous, and coveted, bass guitars in history of modern music... the Hofner 500/1 Bass Guitar.
Sir Pauls hails from 1963 (yes his Original that was just found again, is 1961) but his 1963 500/1 is known around the world, perhaps the Universe.
So much so, that basically everyone calls it "The Beatle Bass".
Many companies have tried to reproduce this Bass - either as an in-expensive bass or a hand built higher end marvel of craftmanship but nothing can replace an Original 60's Hofner 500/1.
This Consignment bass is in Excellent condition, especially for it's age.
The original finish is in surprisingly great condition - most you see of this era have much more wearing thru the thin finish.
Plays like a dream, strung up with Flatwounds and has had a neck reset (as most have needed it) and now it's ready for the gigs!
Original electronics date to the 7th week of 1966, comes with ohsc.
Scrambled Eggs... and Spam. Spam, spam, spam, spam.
All You Need Is Cash, and this Bass could be yours and you'll be playing "Blues Suede Schubert"... I mean "Roll Over Beethoven" in not time!
