Hofner 500/1 HCT Contemporary Violin Bass Beatles

This 2011 Hofner 500/1 HCT Contemporary Violin Bass is truly like new. It was bought from the unsold back stock of a defunct music store in 2023. The bass has all the upgrades that everyone typically performs on this bass to bring it closer to the German spec, like. Genuine German Hofner control panel. Genuine German Hofner white aged strap buttons.

Genuine German Hofner "strip" tuners. I've also upgraded all screws to vintage-style nickel plated slot-head screws, for a truly vintage vibe, and installed Pyramid Gold flatwound strings. The original black hardshell case, in excellent condition, is included.
