This is a vintage 1962 Hofner model number 500/1 electric bass guitar that was patterned after a violin's arch top hollow body style and was made popular when Paul McCartney bought and played one with the Beatles, eventually earning it the name "Beatle" bass. These had a different feel and tone than most bass guitars out at the same time, and stand out in a crowd. They were available with maple or spruce arch top construction depending on when they were made, and if you happen to find one, you might want to keep it. See ya, and be sure to check back to see more Cool Old Junk...
