The Höfner 500/5 bass was first produced in 1957 and continued until the early 1970s. It is a large hollow bodied bass with no centre block. It's a historic semi-acoustic bass model from the 50s and 60s used by the Beatles and other bands of the time.The single pickup archtop bass appeared in the UK in 1963 and replaced the Hofner Electric Bass Guitar (500/3) as a cheaper alternative to the also new twin pickup President Bass. The major difference between the Senator Bass and the 500/3 was the change from the Hofner consul mounted controls to two rotary controls for Volume and Tone, together with a reduced body depth of 2″ compared to the 500/3’s 2½”. The Senator bore little resemblance to the Senator six string archtop, which did not even have a body cutaway at that time. In 1964, the Senator Bass was revised slightly the headstock decoration was changed from the “Treble Clef” fascia to a “Dagger” motif”. Weight: 5.1lb
