Description
The Hofner Contemporary Series Violin Cavern Bass brings the iconic sound and style of the British Invasion into the hands of today's bassists. Modeled after the bass that defined an era, this instrument is made for those who want that unmistakable Hofner sound without breaking the bank.
Crafted with a spruce top and a flame maple body, the Violin Cavern Bass projects a resonant tone with plenty of low-end warmth and crisp, balanced highs. Its spruce center block reduces feedback and enhances sustain, while its Staple pickups produce a rich and versatile sound. Further expanding its tonal palette are a pair of volume controls, dual pickup selectors, and a rhythm/solo switch, which boosts output.
Visually, the HCT Violin Cavern Bass is a vintage-inspired masterpiece. Its white pearloid pickguard and black-and-white binding on the top and back accentuate its classic sunburst finish. Details like the pearl heel cap and trapeze nickel tailpiece add an extra touch of old-school charm, while nickel tuners and pearl buttons guarantee an authentic Hofner experience.
With its 30" scale, rosewood fingerboard, and comfortable neck, the Violin Cavern Bass is a true player's bass. For musicians looking to capture the rockin' spirit of the '60s, the Hofner Contemporary Series Violin Cavern Bass is a fantastic choice.
