Description: 

As classic and recognizable as they come; the Hofner 500/1 Violin Bass as made famous by Paul McCartney and lovingly known as "the Beatle bass". This one is a vintage 1970 model in incredibly clean condition. 53 years old and seems to have gone mostly unplayed or very well cared for. Headstock is excellent with only the very lightest of marks, back of neck is excellent, frets show some light marks in the root position (very minor), body shows some light scuffing and light surface impressions but no major dings/dents/chips or deep scratches. Overall an extremely clean, beautiful looking and playing example of a legendary instrument. Pictured with replacement knobs (shinier) originals are included as well. Dated as the 24th week of 1970.

Includes original purple lined hard case. The tolex on the case is lifting but it is cosmetic only, case is solid.

Has been fully inspected and setup here by our team at Coast Sonic and is ready for a new home.

Great comfort, but not built for long-term daily use
Size: 9.5 X-Wide, Color: Black/White, Size: 9.5 X-Wide, Color: Black/White
I've had this shoe for almost a year now. I use it almost daily on a walking pad while working from home, plus as a gym shoe. After nearly a year of this routine, I've noticed considerable wear on the sole. Don't get me wrong: the shoe is great and very comfortable, looks decent, and fits great at the start, and has good breathability. However, that comfort has started to fade as the shoe has worn down. Gel-Contends 9 is a really good shoe, but definitely not a long-term, heavy-use shoe. Perfect for casual or rotation use, occasional runs, but don't expect it to last 12+ months of daily wear.

Great for the price!
Size: 11, Color: White/Glacier Grey
Bought for husband, he says that they feel comfortable have good cushion & feel stable while he runs. Give him traction on the beach running or on pavement! Sharp looking shoes!

Sold on ASICS for my running needs.
Size: 8, Color: Carrier Grey/Anzu
I run 40+ miles a week. These running shoes are terrific. Can afford the expensive brands/models and this fits my feet, price and running requirements. Have purchased several over the years.

Comfort and Great for Standing
Definitely the best shoe for standing on ur feet all day. I stand for about 7.5 hrs a day and this has changed things for me drastically. The foam makes a difference and the shoe is stylish as well.
