Although they share a similar body shape, the Deluxe is a distinct departure from the Vintage `63. The Deluxe is a thoroughly exclusive instrument with a one-piece European maple neck, gold-plated hardware, and diamond-shaped mother-of-pearl headstock inlays. A dark, full-body binding that contrasts with the lighter woods surrounding it is one of the details that sets the Deluxe apart. Responsive and light in weight, the Deluxe is truly a pleasure to play.

In 1956, Walter Hofner had an idea for an amplified semi-acoustic bass. When it was brought to life, his idea revolutionized popular music. Many players revere Hofner's Violin Bass as a legend because of its historical significance and its warm, woody, double-bass-like amplified tone. The Hofner Violin Bass is a unique instrument with a smooth, sweet sound and a playing ease that simply eludes most ordinary basses.

Cavern '61 Taking the name form the storied club in Liverpool where the Beatles performed early in their career, the original Cavern '61 models are highly prized and sought after by collectors. This early bass featured a flat back (unlike the arched back of its sibling models), two "Diamond"-style pickups placed close together, an "old-school" Hofner logo, and a slightly fatter neck shape.
