500/2  Black & Gold Club Bass

Originally made for one of our artists this spectacular looking bass has become a firm favorite of all Höfner players and popular opinion prompted us to put this bass into production.

The 500/2 Club Bass combines the sound and many other details of the Vintage ’63 with a cutaway body design and a very special black & gold finish.
