Höfner H500/2 Relic Club Bass

Handmade in Germany!

Hofner Club Bass in a Relic finish is inspired by the original Hofner 1965 model. This is a special limited edition Vintage Relic finish Club Bass created by Hofner master builders in the violin lacquer dept. Beautifully aged to look authentically vintage but with the advantage of being a brand new instrument that performs 100% – eight days a week!

Very special and secret varnishes are used to achieve the remarkable aged finish. With its cutaway body design it provides ease of playability and delivers a true vintage sound with full deep bass tones from its fully hollow body and “Staple” pickups. The top is now in selected Flame Maple making this a truly desirable instrument. Produced in an antique brown sunburst that compliments the nickel hardware. Includes a Hofner bullet case.
