1967 Hofner 500/1 Violin Bass. Plays and sounds fantastic. 1st year Blade Pickups, sound puncy and huge, way more oomph than the original Staple Pickups. All original. Setup with flatwound strings. Finish has some nicks and checking, heel cap is missing ( see photos for condition) but is in very goo condition for its age. Super lightweight 4lbs 8oz. Original case is a bit beat up but all latches and handle function fine.
