Hofner 500/1 '61 Cavern Violin Bass £1250 Nr Henley-on-Thames

[Solopolo]

Hofner 500/1 '61 Cavern Violin Bass. Beautiful German made bass with fantastic sound. I have two, hence selling one as i don't need both. Have had dots added to side of neck. This was done by Gordon Knight in Surrey. Nice flaming to body. Small ding on back of headstock and light checking to lacquer. Has roundwounds on but i have plenty of sets of flats if you need them.

Pardon my ignorance but is this a genuine 61 or a reissue please?

Hi Tom,

It's a reissue of the '61 "cavern" model

I had one of these - and foolishly sold it to a mate.

 

I went to see his band, I’ve never heard a bass fill (but not kill) a mix like it, just a wonderful, full and warm sound.
