Description
The 500/1 Violin Bass was first shown to the public in Frankfurt, Germany in 1956 and has been in continuous production ever since. Designed by Hofner as an alternative to the upright double bass, it leapt to worldwide fame when Paul McCartney was seen playing one with The Beatles in the early 1960s. Since then, it has forever been dubbed the "Beatle Bass".
