This LEFT HANDED violin-shaped model is commonly referred to as the "Beatle bass."
With authentic details inspired by the original, the Hofner  Vintage Style Bass makes the legendary violin bass available to the rest of us.

Don't get the idea that this a just a "nowhere man" look-alike. This quality instrument features a spruce top and beautiful flamed maple back and sides.

The semi-hollow body and set neck will give you the warm, round tone you expect from the violin bass.
