HÖFNER 500/1 Vintage ´62 Bass Sunburst
Hofner 500/1 Vintage 62 Electric Bass Guitar, 1962 Reissue, German Spruce Top, Flame Maple Back And Sides,
Rosewood Fingerboard, Antique Brown Sunburst.
The Hofner 500/1 Vintage 62 is based on Paul McCartney’s 1962 Violin Bass. The ’62 bass has delighted Hofner
aficionados by replicating details of the original. For example, the “strip” machine heads, the slot-head screws on
the hardware, and the two-piece neck are authentic touches that connect this instrument to an earlier time. This
replica of Paul’s bass historically accurate enough to satisfy even the most demanding Beatles fan.

The bass has a really nice and warm sound of its own and it has a really unique shape which other basses don’t have, you can play any song you want with it. But the only thing that made me not liking the sound is that when you play the 13th fret of the G string it gives a really loud noise from the amp or maybe it’s from my own amp. The pickups and control panel are very interesting to use which is why you van play any genre you want such as blues, soft rock, metal and etc.
In general, great bass, Beatle vibe and worth for its price!
