Höfner 500/1 Violin Bass, der legendäre „Beatles Bass“, Baujahr 1965-67, mit Fender Musicmaster Bass AmpDie absolute Rarität für Bassgitarren-LiebhaberInnen und Beatles Fans: Ein Höfner Bass der frühen Jahre in originalem Zustand mit geringen Gebrauchs- und Altersspuren, technisch einwandfrei, mit originalem Basskoffer Das Alter dieser Höfner-Bässe ist aufgrund der fehlenden Seriennummern folgendermaßen zu bestimmen: Von 1964 bis 1967 wurde der Pickup-Typ mit vier Schrauben und vier offenen Magnetpolen auf großen schwarzen Pickup-Umrahmungen mit zwei Einstellschrauben verbaut, schon 1967 folgte die Bar-Blade (auch „Shark-Fin“ genannt). Ebenfalls ab 1964 kam das Raised Script-Logo „Hofner“ ohne Trema und das Griffbrett bekam ein zusätzliches weißes Binding am Rand. Das kleine Elektronikfach mit den „Tea Cup“-Poti-Knöpfen wurde Anfang 1965 etwas breiter. Die einzelnen offenen Mechaniken mit den schönen Perlmutt-Aufsätzen haben noch keine Kreuzschlitzschrauben und sind gängig. Das Instrument ist somit zwischen 1965 und 1967 einzuordnen, wir haben es daher unterlassen, das Elektronikfach aufzuschrauben, um dort ggfs. eine Prägung neben den Potis zu finden, die noch genaueren Aufschluss geben könnte.Dazu vom Einlieferer der Röhren-Combo Musicmaster Bass von Fender, USA 1970er Jahre, Ser. Nr. A99684, technisch einwandfrei, geringe Gebrauchs- und Altersspuren
