The 5000/1 violin bass was Hofner's Deluxe version of the 500/1. Hofner decided to discontinue this bass in early 2015. This Violin Bass was available in a Natural Finish and fretted or fretless versions. The 5000/1 features Gold plated hardware, Ebony
fretboard, a Hofner "Diamond" headstock
inlay and highly sought after Birds Eye Maple back and sides. It's a beautiful bass. Note this was the only Hofner German bass available as a fretless bass. Lefty and righty versions were available.
