USED HOFNER / 20/40 Anniversary Model 500/1 Violin Bass 039/400 [05]

Only 400 pieces of this double-anniversary model, produced in 1995 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the birth of the Hofner 500/1 and the 20th anniversary of its entry into the UK market, are now in stock.

This violin bass is famous for its use by that four-piece band from England.
This model has a spruce/maple hollow structure body, two-piece maple neck, double pegs, and small escutcheon, all of which are reminiscent of the 1962 model.
The back of the head is marked with a certificate of being an anniversary model.

The pickguard with the anniversary lettering is included in addition to the regular pickguard, but since there are no parts on the rear side or the back side, please consider it as a commemorative accessory. In addition, a BASSMAN sticker is included.

There are some signs of use, such as minor scratches, light dings, and light cracks due to expansion and contraction of the binding, but overall, it maintains a clean appearance, and the moderate degree of aging gives the retro look of this instrument even more depth.

The moderate aging gives the retro look of this instrument additional depth. After receiving the instrument, it was checked and adjusted overall by a professional repair person, and is in good playing condition.
