Used Hofner H500/1-61-0 SUNBURST Electric Bass Guitar

The Hofner 500/1 'Cavern' Violin Bass takes its name from the Cavern Club in Liverpool, England. Opened in 1957 this Club was one of the most important small clubs in Europe for bands trying to make it big in the Beatboom era. In 1960 the first beat night session was held featuring Rory Storm and the Hurricanes with Ringo Starr on drums and by mid 1961 the Merseybeat scene was in full flow with the Beatles and the Cavern Club centre stage. Inspired by the original 1961 model which was purchased by Paul McCartney in Hamburg. Fully hollow body with flat back, and chunky '61 Neck profile. Includes a Hofner Vintage style case.
