Hofner 'Mersey' Violin Bass (Sunburst) inc Hard Case

Paul McCartney's legendary bass guitar from August 1963 has become the blueprint for this meticulously crafted instrument. The original order placed by the Beatles' bassist inspired every detail of this recreation, from its distinctive fretboard design to its authentic hardware specifications.

This instrument features the same fretboard without bezels that made McCartney's bass so distinctive, paired with strip tuners and a traditional 2-piece neck construction. These elements combine to recreate the exact feel and sound characteristics that defined countless classic recordings.

Musicians who prefer left-handed instruments can order this bass in a left-hand configuration (L), ensuring that the authentic design remains accessible to all players. Each instrument comes complete with a Höfner Vintage shoulder strap and protective case, providing everything needed to start playing this piece of musical history.
