Hofner Violin "Beatle" Bass - 2011 Edition

Ok

If you are Beatles fan, and particularly a McCartney fan, then this book is required reading. Like other books of its kind, like the Rickenbacker 12 string, some of the history is dry reading but unavoidable, really. It brings to light interesting points about its construction, design characteristics, etc. that a true fan of the instrument would enjoy. It is also helpful in understanding the other models available in this series and what factors to consider when making a purchase. I originally started with a knock-off bass and had to do extensive research to determine which copy of the closest to the original. It paid off, but this book would have saved me a great amount of time. Recommended.

This book has not got a lot of pages but this book is must for any body who is interested in purchasing a hofner violine bass it will tell you everything you want to know about different models regard Paul

Not as comprehensive as I would have liked. Quite a small book. However, for owners of original Hofner 500/1's, a "must have"...
