If it's good enough for Paul McCartney of the Beatles,it's good enough for most. In our series on successful German musical instrument companies,we look at world-renowned Höfner guitars. McCartney called his instrument My little Hofner Baby . The Höfner Bass was first produced in 1956. After McCartney discovered it in a Hamburg music shop in 1961,it got the nickname the Beatles Bass .

I just love that bass and i love the sound... Can you hear the songs? Please give a comment! Karl Höfner GmbH & Co. KG is a German manufacturer of musical instruments, with one division that manufactures guitars and basses, and another that manufactures other string instruments. Much of Höfner's popularity is attributed to Paul McCartney's use of the Höfner 500/1 bass throughout his career. This violin-shaped model is commonly referred to as the "Beatle bass." The company was made famous through its association with The Beatles, principally through their Höfner 500/1 model hollow-body electric bass, first manufactured in 1956. Paul McCartney played two left-handed 500/1 basses during most of the group's career, one from 1961 with the pickups mounted close together towards the neck, and a 1963 model, with the second pickup mounted closer to the bridge. He used the 1961 bass up through the recording of With the Beatles and, after having some repair work and a refinish to the bass in 1964, used it as his backup bass throughout the rest of the Beatles' touring career. It was also seen in the promo film for the Beatles single "Revolution," and during the filming of the Beatles' documentary Let It Be (though only as a backup). This particular bass was stolen shortly afterward. His most famous bass, though is the 1963 bass, which was used almost exclusively during the band's touring career (1962-66), as well as their rooftop performance in London in 1969 (as featured in Let It <b>...</b>

Its German spruce top and flamed maple back and sides provide a regal backdrop for the Classic's elegant inlays and gold-plated appointments. With the roll of a knob, the unique "Clear Contour" electronic circuitry of the Verythin Classic can simulate the sound of nearly-silent single-coil or humbucking pickups. This simplicity of operation frees the guitarist to concentrate on the performance rather than risk distraction from awkward switches or gimmicks. Classic Verythin body shape, rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays, 2 Höfner full-size humbuckers, nickel hardware, Totally versatile; excels at any style of music Selected german spruce top, back and sides from selected flamed maple European hard rock maple neck Ebony fretboard, bound, 22 frets Mother of pearl block inlays Scale: 25 1/2" (64.3 cm) Neck width at nut: 1 3/4" (44mm) Machine heads: Schaller M6 with tulip buttons Bridge: Schaller STM with string spacing adjustment Hofner 62/10-G harpform tailpiece, brass Pickups: Hofner 514/VC-B, 514VC-N humbuckers 2 volume controls, 2 tone controls, 3-way toggle, 'Clean Contour' tone control Gold-plated <b>...</b>

Here's a quick run through of a Hofner Icon B-series bass. I'm running through a bassman modeled amp, and the strings are LaBella Deep Talking flatwounds. For what it's worth, The 3rd clip is my favorite tone! The sounds seems a bit messed up, but hopefully it gets the point across. The video is just mimed, but it syncs pretty close to the audio

I had a very short time to capture some sounds from this guitar before my camera battery died. I will be putting up a full review of this guitar soon. It's a very limited edition...from what I have read only 50 in the UK. Flamed Maple Body, Walnut finish, Nickel Hardware, Bigsby B70 trem system, maple neck, rosewood fretboard, Bone nut, roller saddles on bridge. Very awesome. Extremely sloppy playing, just wanted to record some of it the sounds quickly. Playing through a Traynor YBA-1A MKII and a matching Traynor 6x10 Cabinet from 1968. I'm an upright bass player primarily so I am in no way a great guitarist lol!

If you're on a budget and need a good sounding archtop---not a bad choice. But beware of setup issues. Also, for a little more $$ I offer tap tuned,hand carved 100% solid guitars. But again, if price is your primary concern, not a bad guitar for the money.
