Hofner 500/5

1961

Imagine a hollowbody bass that sounds like an upright. Strung with flatwounds and featuring a perfectly straight neck, it’s easy to play and incredibly inspiring—so, so different from anything made today. The tone is focused, with very little sustain and a lot of natural resonance. The word “vintage” truly means something here. And the weight? An unbelievable 2.4 kg! Comes with a soft case.
