A rare one! This Hofner V58 ReIssue Violin Bass is number 32 from a special limited series of just 58 ever made. True bass enthusiasts understand just how special this instrument is! One of its most distinctive features is the authentic flat back design, which sets it apart from the curved back construction found on later violin bass models - this is a great opportunity to add a truly rare and significant instrument to your collection. It's in very good condition other than a few various small signs of age (this is all outlined in the photos). *There is some lacquer checking on the back of the neck that is difficult to show in photos.* Included with the bass is the original case & cardboard box, a Hofner apron, strap, various keys/knick-knacks and a book of Hofner history.
