Description
The Hofner Violin Bass Guitar is one of the most instantly recognizable instruments ever made. Its fame was cemented in 1961 when a young English guitarist walked into a shop in Hamburg and ordered a left-handed version, which would go on to become known as "The Beatle Bass." This fully illustrated book tells the complete story of the Violin Bass, from its conception in 1955 to its development over the years, including the re-issue models and its surprising appearance at the 2012 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Concert. The book is based on the Hofner Company archives, with help from Walter Hofner's daughter Gerhilde, and provides a unique insight into the history of this famous bass guitar. It covers a range of topics, including dating a Violin Bass, serial numbers, body dates, and pickup information, making it a must-have book for collectors. With over 300 pages of detailed information and photographs, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Hofner Violin Bass Guitar.
