Hofner bases are a classic bass made popular by one of the world's best know musicians. Do you know who? Paul McCartney. His bass of choice was a Hofner. They looked like a violin and there is a good reason for that. Karl Hofner the founder was master violinist. He started his company 1887 and the company has been creating great musical instruments ever since. There are not many companies that have over 100 years of experience.
Hofner instruments created many types of stringed instruments and quickly became the largest manufacturer in Germany. The quality of these wonderful instruments was second to none and that helped to propel them into the spotlight. Innovation was also a big factor in making Hofner so popular. Creating high quality instruments was more like a work of art for Hofner. Each and every instrument became his canvas as his designs and ideas were soon brought to musical life. and it shows in the attention to detail and craftsmanship.
Creating great sounding violins and acoustic guitars was not enough. In 1956 Walter Hofner the son Karl had a great idea. He wanted to create an bass guitar that resembled a violin. He also thought it would be a great idea if it had a semi hollow body much like an acoustic guitar. His great idea changed rock and roll history. Soon this style of bass became known as the "Beatles Bass" due to McCartney's love of the instrument.
It is hard to put down a success and this popular style of bass is still available to this day!
