For a variety of reasons, we have elected not to stock the Hofner Violin Basses. We have sold many of them and they are truly fine instruments. We continue to stock Hofner Archtops, Thinline and Acoustic Guitars.
For a list of dealers please contact Rob Olsen at rob.olsen@hofner.com. Or contact our favorite dealer, Dr Vox, at http://www.voxshowroom.com/northcoast

Vintage '62 Bass
Based on the 1962 model Paul McCartney still uses today, the Vintage
'62 has delighted Hofner aficionados by replicating details of the
original. The 'strip' machine heads, slot-head hardware screws and
famous 2 piece neck are authentic touches that connect this instrument
to an earlier time. Int the Vintage '62, Hofner has created a replica
of Paul's bass historically accurate enough to satisfy even the most
demanding Beatles fan. Oh yes, and it plays every bit as good as the
original ... maybe even better

Bass
Named for the year the most familiar version of the Violin Bass was popularized,

of a full-sized string bass. Built to be as durable as its legacy, the
compact sized, easy to play, light in weight Vintage '63 is equally at
home on stage or in the studio. A great performing instrument

500/2 Club Bass
With originals scarce and expensive, popular demand compelled Hofner
to recreate the Club Bass 50/2. The new Club Bass borrows the feel,
the tone, and many features from the Vintage '63 and combines them
with a single rounded cutaway profile. Supplied with popular 'Bullet
Style' aluminum case.
