The Violin Bass Store

I just installed it easily in a 500/1 HCT and everything works fine, same measurements as those that came from the factory, unfortunately not all hofner have the same contour on the lid and the belly are not as pronounced in all models and when installing they are required to do some adjustments with sandpaper in the lower part of the plastic so that it adapts as best as possible and there are no gaps in the corners that do not touch the wood, otherwise the piece is excellent and better surrounds the pick up the shopping es very fast than the expected date this store is amazing

Excellent quality, fit perfectly!

Perfect ! Thank-you

A little thing, but the '63 Hofner I recently purchased was missing the strap button, and the previous owner just had a flathead screw serving in that capacity. Theviolinbass.com had just what I needed, at a very reasonable price, and they got it to me in short order. All is well.

I got the deal of the year, a German made 500/1 V62 for a song. It needed a couple parts and the Violin Bass shop came thru. Thanks Guys!

This is the second time I’ve bought tea cup knobs from the violin store and happy as usual. The first time was for a tribute 500/1 I built from scratch to replace the 63 I use to own and now I just purchased a contemporary 500/1 that I want to have the vintage vibe of the 60’s Hofners. Thank you for making these available.

Purchased one to replace the bridge that came with my bass kit. It fit the contours right away, and has improved the acoustic sound. It plays so much nicer.

What a find. Had my 68 Hofner since 68 ( my first bass). in 1974 I took it to a well known music store in L A for some "expert fine tuning" they totally ruined my Hofner, changed the tuners to Schalers, cut the bridge, messed with the neck..... Oh my!
Luckily after 47 years I found a local Luthier and The violin bass. Original Hofner parts and an expert craftsman who owns a '66 Hofner and I am on my way to restoration.
Thanks to Chris for his expertise and for being there. Incredible fast service and direction.

Finding the original replacement parts was very important.
So great to have someone out there that loves the instruments and is so knowledgeable.
Carried this bass all ,over the country, so nice to bring it back to life with genuine Hofner parts.
Thank you Chris, and thank you for answering my inquires. All the best

Chris at The violin bass is a pleasure to work with. Chris answered my calls, emails and texts to offer direction or replacement parts for my '68 Hofner bass.
I am so glad that I found The violin bass store, the tuner heads were perfect and original parts.
Thank you Chris, I will pass your contact info to everyone looking to keep their Hofner like it came from the factory.

Comes w slotted screw verse Phillips ..which for my bass was period correct .
