This 1961 reissue of the famous 'Cavern' Bass was the 2nd bass crafted this 31st of July 2000. Despite being one of the smallest basses available it easily produces massive bass lines and is remarkably versatile.This is the famous 'Cavern' Violin Bass - Paul McCartneys first Höfner in 1961. It has also seen increasing use in reggae bands where a deep driving bass is always wanted.

It is also commonly used today in studios for recording bass lines for dance music. This sound can be used to emulate those pop sounds of the 1960s or slightly overdriven in a modern rock band to provide a deep driving bass. When used with flatwound strings it produces a distinctive deep and penetrating thud not unlike an upright double bass. The sound of a Violin Bass is unlike any other bass. Please note: This bass guitar features all the same specs as the Hofner 500/1 Vintage 61 Violin Bass reissue, but has been renamed 500/1 Cavern Violin Bass. Its short scale (30in) and ultra lightweight has found favour with many professionals over the years.

Today the 500/1 is offered in a number of models from the budget Ignition version through to the handmade German built re-issues and specials. It leapt to worldwide fame when Paul McCartney was seen playing one with The Beatles in the early 1960s. Designed by Walter Höfner as an alternative to the upright double bass it fulfilled this aim and much more. It has been in continuous production ever since. The 500/1 Violin Bass was first shown to the public at the Frankfurt Muiskmesse in 1956.
