Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
This Höfner is a fantastic recreation of a legendary bass – instantly recognizable and brimming with that classic Beatles vibe. The shorter scale makes it surprisingly nimble, and the H511B pickups deliver a surprisingly robust, vintage-flavored tone. It’s a premium-priced instrument perfect for players seeking a unique feel and a specific sonic aesthetic, especially those drawn to 60s rock, pop, and Motown.
