Hofner
The Hofner brand dates back to 1887, but notably found mass popularity with Paul McCartney's use of the Hofner 500/1 bass throughout his career. This famous bass guitar has a unique violin style shape and often is referred to as the Beatles Bass. Hofner was distributed in the UK during the 1950s to the early 70s by Selmer of London and vintage examples are highly regarded and sought after instruments.
