Welcome to the Registration page for
the Hofner 500/1 Violin
Bass Guitar. (German-made Originals 1955 to the 1990's only
please!)
If you fill in the
details of your 500/1 here, it will appear on a
register located on this
website within a few
days, or maybe a little longer if I happen to be away from home at the
time.
Please
do spare a few minutes to
fill in the form - it's a simple matter of picking from check boxes and
drop
lists, and typing in some basic information. All of the items listed
should be able to be ascertained by a glance at your
guitar - no complex measurements or specialist knowledge required -
just a bit
of observation of what's in front of you. It's for you to simply select
the
correct/relevant option from the drop-list in each case.
The idea is to monitor some of the
detail changes that this model underwent in the different time periods
during
its long production-period. By filling in
all the details on the form, you can help us build up a bigger picture,
and as the information you
provide is collated, you'll be able to see just how and where your
guitar fits
in from the Detail Spreadsheets published on this website. You will
also get
your name on the Owners' Register also on this website!
Please ensure that your
guitar is a German-made original
500/1 of the 1955 to c1990 period. I'm afraid that I can't register the
German
re-issues made from the 1990's to the present day, the 5000/1 Deluxe
Bass, nor
the Chinese made Contemporary (CT) and Icon
Series instruments............simply
because I will have all-on dealing with just the German originals!!
INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR
REGISTRATION OF 1955 TO c1990
BASSES.
