Far East variant of the 500/1 – significantly cheaper.
What would be if Höfner had NOT built the 500/1 bass in 1956 and Paul McCartney had NOT acquired this bass… ? Well, the Beatles would probably have written rock’n’roll history without the Höfner bass, but the Höfner bass would certainly have disappeared without the Beatles. Nice that this did not happen and that one of the most independent basses in history could start a triumphal march around the world in Paul’s hands.
