A special vintage finish Violin Bass created by our master in the violin lacquer department. Beautifully aged to look authentically vintage but with the advantage of a brand new bass.
Very special and secret varnishes are used to achieve the remarkable aged finish. The 63-RLC is inspired by the bass we made in 1963 for Paul McCartney and features an unbound 2-piece neck and 2 on a strip tuners. Each bass is a unique instrument, no two are exactly alike as the ageing process is all done by hand.
All models are supplied with a pearloid pickguard (not mounted) and include a Höfner Vintage strap and case. Handmade in Germany.
