Violin Bass - Vintage Finish - 61 - (LH)
SKU: H500/1-61L-RLC-0 OverviewViolin Bass - Vintage Finish - 61 - (LH)
Handmade in Germany
A special Vintage Violin Bass created by our master in the violin lacquer dept. Beautifully aged to look authentically vintage but with the advantage of a brand new bass.
Very special and secret varnishes are used to achieve the remarkable aged finish.
The 61-RLC is inspired by the bass made in 1961 for Paul McCartney and features an unbound 3 piece neck and single tuners.
Each bass is a unique instrument, no two are exactly alike as the ageing process is all done by hand.
All models are supplied with a pearloid pickguard (not mounted) and include a Höfner Vintage strap and case.
