Based on Paul McCartney’s 1962 Violin Bass, the ’62 bass has delighted Hofner aficionados by replicating details of the original. For example, the 'strip' machine heads, the slot-head screws on the hardware and the two-piece neck are authentic touches that connect this instrument to an earlier time. In the Vintage ’62, Höfner has created a replica of Paul’s bass historically accurate enough to satisfy even the most demanding Beatles fan.
