Just in - These are going to be awesome basses and we should be one of the first dealers with stock.  The Contemporary version of the 500/5 (President) bass, inspired by the models of the 1950's and 60's as played by Stuart Sutcliffe in the early days of The Beatles. With a fully hollow 16.5" wide body and fitted with close spaced original Hofner 'Black Bar' pick-ups. The 500/5 is fitted with a Hofner control panel to ensure a great sixties style and sound.  The 500/5 is a vintage style bass that allows you to capture the tones of the 50s and 60s at a very affordable price.  Righty version only.
