500/1 Vintage `62 by Hofner
Vintage sunburst

500/1 Vintage `62 is a model from the vintage-styled 500 line of vintage-styled Violin basses. Violin Bass was introduced back in the 1950s, as an alternative to the solid, heavy and full-scaled Precision Bass. Violin bass had a hollow body, shorter scale and was light as a feather, compared to the big old P Bass. Today, Hofner offers a wide variety of vintage-styled replica models. 500/1 Vintage `62 pays tribute to the 1962 version of the Violin Bass. It comes with a fully hollow body made of maple (back, sides) and spruce (carved top). On the top, there is a two-piece bridge section and a pair of active minibuckers. Maple neck is set in and topped with a series standard 21-fret rosewood fingerboard.
