Description
The Contemporary Violin Bass gives players classic Hofner sound, style, and in-hand feel, all in a more affordable package. Don't be fooled, however - this Hofner bass has an undeniable vintage vibe. Featuring flame maple back/sides and a spruce top, this 500/1 has a resonant, plucky in-hand feel and sound, with a 3-piece maple/beech/maple neck and solid spruce center block, delivering heaps of sustain and furthering its incredible in-hand feel. You'll love its set of Hofner Staple humbuckers as well, which do a great job at translating the bass's warm, semi-hollow tone through an amp. And thanks to traditional 500/1 controls, it's easy to dial it in just right for your rig. A treat for the eyes and ears, the Hofner HCT-500/1 Contemporary Violin Bass exudes classic Hofner style at every turn.
