You are bidding on a vintage Hofner Violin Beatles

Bass 500/1 from Germany 1967.

No reissue !!!!!!

All parts of these Hofner bass are 100% original.

No parts are changed.
No repairs were even done to the bass.

The pick guard is missing.

A small piece of the bridge under the head is missing(see scan).

The electronics are working.

I opened the control area and read the codes on the potentiometers. 
One was 250 (ohm)-117....the other was also 250 (ohm) - 117. 
It was stated that the last digit referred to the production year (therefore 1967)...and
the first two digits referred to the week of production within that year. 
Therefore 11 = 11th week of 1967, apprx end of March 1967.

The finish is original and there are no cracks or breaks in the instrument.
A small chip on the head(see scan).

The neck is nice and straight.

The bass plays and sounds killer with a very nice straight neck and
great sounding pickups.

This Hofner Beatles Bass is all over in very good+ condition.

This Hofner bass comes in a new Hard shell case.
