Beatles bass! I mean I don’t really have more to say than that.

Product Overview

Hofner 500/1 Violin Bass 1963 - 1966

In 1963, Hofner's "Staple" pickups were added to the 500/1. Paul McCartney's 1963 500/1 quickly became his primary bass, leaving his 1961 "Cavern" model as a backup before it was stolen from a studio closet.
