Product Description
FOR SALE: A (mid to late) 1961 HOFNER 501 CAVERN BASS, McCartney SPEC. Serial Number 4304 (I think, hard to see, might be 4384) Bass is “right handed”, McCartney spec refers only to the year 1961, which has the correct spec for Paul’s bass, and the cosmetic appointments of the instrument, not the handing. Bass is in great used condition with only normal signs of play wear with one small top crack at the control panel. McCartney specs are: Rugby ball tuners, three piece neck, one piece flat back, no neck binding, long tail piece with thin bar, plain Hofner logo pick ups, 1961 pot codes (250K 241 and 431, apparently one was changed at some point, or possibly replaced by Hofner prior to shipping), small pick up surrounds, small control plate, pick guard with tight radius cut outs, Hofner vertical logo decal. Note: It’s come to my attention that the headstock vertical logo plate may have been repaired or replaced, or may not be the original. Bass is a late 1961 original Hofner Cavern bass that has been most likely over sprayed, although quite some time ago as it black lights like a vintage guitar should (except for the headstock plate). Pick ups, pick guard, tuners, pots and control panel are all 1961 original, neck joint is good, has one small chip in the fret board (pictured). Comes with Harptone case, I don't think it is original, but it’s very old, so could be, but probably not. The case is still in good shape, handle, latches and hinges all good, no bad smells. I believe the bass was originally sold by a Dutch Distributor, which would be consistent with the four digit serial number and the Hofner body decal. The bass is the same as Paul’s in every way except it’s right handed and it’s less than a third of the 25K price of a museum piece, if you could even manage to find one for sale. This is a super rare opportunity to own one of these without completely breaking the bank. When some re-issue Cavern's are listed on eBay for as much as $4,900.00, why not have the real original. I’ve listed everything I can see and everything I know about this item, I believe in full disclosure and I have made every effort to provide it. If you need more pictures or info please feel free to ask. I reserve the right to cancel the auction at anytime, as item is also for sale locally. Shipping is for the continental US only. Alaska or Hawaii is an additional cost to the buyer. I am NOT a dealer or guitar store, I’m just liquidating some of my personal collection.
