For customers residing in Japan
Violin Bass 500/1, so famous as the favorite of Paul McCartney of the Beatles, is now in stock.
The raised logo, Shark Fin pickup 512B with Hofner logo, wide control panel, and other parts specifications suggest that this is a late 1960s model.
Two pickguards are included, but we are not sure which one is the original due to the difference in shape.
The sound of the double bass-like "bong" is a characteristic of this model with the hollow construction, and the sound is more mature with the vintage withered texture.

There is a broken neck and a cracked head, and the neck has been refinished.
There is a crack on the back of the body on the 4th string side, and the neck joint has a paint crack and a slight gap, but it is not a problem to use the guitar as it is now.
There are many scratches and dents scattered throughout the instrument, and the lacquer paint is discolored and weather-checked, and the metal parts are dull.
The instrument has been maintained and cleaned at our repair center and is in good playability condition.

ビートルズのポール・マッカートニーの愛機としてあまりにも有名なヴァイオリンベース500/1が入荷しました。
レイズド・ロゴ、Hofnerロゴ入りのシャークフィン・ピックアップ512B、ワイド・コントロールパネルといったパーツの仕様などから、1960年代後半の個体と思われます。
ピックガードは本体に取り付けられている物とは別に純正の物が2枚付属しておりますが形状の違いもあり、どれがオリジナルかは分かりかねます。
ダブル・ベースのような”ボン”という味のあるサウンドは、ホロウ構造のこのモデルならではの特徴で、ヴィンテージの枯れた質感が相まってサウンドの円熟味が増しております。

ネック折れ・ヘッド割れの修正跡があり、それに伴いネックがリフィニッシュされております。
4弦側のボディバックに割れ修正跡があり、ネックジョイントに塗装クラックや僅かな隙間がございますが、現状で使用に差し支えございません。
全体的にも多くの擦り傷や打痕が散在しており、ラッカー塗装の変質やウェザーチェック、金属パーツのくすみなど年数相応の貫禄のあるルックスとなっております。
弊社リペアセンターにて各部メンテナンス・クリーニング済みでプレイヤビリティは良好です。
* 12ヶ月間の中古保証をお付けしておりますがパーツによっては入手困難な為、対応出来かねる場合がございますので予めご了承下さい。
