Description
Hofner's HI-Series B-Bass delivers the same warm, thumping sound that characterized the music of the Beatles and redefined bass as we know it. Built with a hollow maple body and fit with two Staple humbuckers, the B-Bass has a big, booming tone that sounds great for everything from old-school soul to modern alt-rock. Complete with a pearloid pickguard and a classic brown burst finish, this B-Bass is perfect for the hardcore Beatles enthusiast or anyone seeking an affordable hollow body bass.
Cosmetic Condition: Excellent condition - this bass is very clean with minimal signs of play. The hardware is bright and shiny, and it's overall in exceptional condition.
Neck: One-piece maple neck with a thermo-modified Jatoba fingerboard and dot inlays. All 22 frets are in great shape with no wear, the neck is straight, and the truss rod works just fine. This bass is incredibly comfortable for quicker playing styles, thanks to its 30" scale length and 1.65" wide nut.
Body: This bass has a hollow flame maple body with a spruce top, giving it a balanced voice with warm lows and a chiming top-end. Hardware includes a genuine rosewood bridge with a Trapeze tailpiece and a 3-ply pearloid pickguard. Weighs 4 lbs. 13.1 oz.
Electronics: Powering this Hi-Series B-Bass is a pair of Hofner Ignition Staple Nickel humbuckers. The neck pickup has plenty of warmth and darkness on tap, while the bridge pickup churns out a tight, clear thump. This bass has that vintage Hofner look, thanks to its pearloid control plate. All electronics are in good working condition.
