No bass guitar holds the iconic status, unique tone, and history of the Höfner 500/1 Violin Bass. At Tone Tailors in Lancaster, PA, we celebrate the instrument that defined the 1960s and continues to offer a distinct, warm, and woody voice unlike any other electric bass.
More commonly known as the "Beatle Bass," the Höfner 500/1 is legendary for its lightweight feel, short scale, and deep, resonant tone—qualities that come from its unique, fully hollow construction. It’s the perfect choice for vintage rock, pop, soul, and any player seeking that unmistakable retro vibe.
