The 1961 Hofner 500/1 Revolution Cavern Bass:  This is a reproduction of Paul McCartney's first bass which was a 1961 flat back model 500/1 which he used on "Let it Be" and "Revolution" and is often seen in 1968 Revolution promo videos.  It was repaired in 1964 and is often seen with a large black pickup bezel added as part of the repair.  Unfortunately the bass was stolen during the filming of "Revolution" in 1968. 


Our Revolution Bass starts with a 1961 flat back body, neck and hardware from Hofner Germany, add 2 diamond logo pickups with close to the neck "cavern" spacing, and finish the bass in a "revolution bass" nitrocellulose sunburst finish resulting in the ultimate "Revolution" Beatles Bass.  Specs also include 30" scale, solid hand carved top and original vertical logo.

The bass also includes a custom shop serial number, Hofner warranty and Hofner factory case. 

We are currently not accepting orders for this bass as Hofner has just introduced a 61 reissue bass with significantly shorter lead times.  Please visit our 61 Hofner bass page.
