Hofner Violin Bass Contemporary Beatle Bass Sunburst C/ Case

Hofner HCT-500/1 SB Violin Bass Contemporary.

The Hofner Contemporary Series Violin Bass is a contemporary replica of the bass that Paul McCartney still plays on stage today – still featuring the original 1962 neck profile for guaranteed playability and classic tone.

Constructed with a sustain block inside the body for modern, punchy, deep-resonating bass sounds, and using the original Hofner Staple-Top pick-ups, the Hofner HCT500/1 is affordable and couples authentic Hofner design with the latest manufacturing techniques. The Violin Bass is part of Hofners contemporary series of electric guitars based on the famous models of the past, and is perfect for stage, studio and any genre of music.

Hofner has introduced the Contemporary Series, which positions itself between the German made original models and the Icon Series entry level instruments!

This new Hofner HCT-500/1 Violin Bass utilizes the original German made Höfner HS11B ‘Staple-Top’ pick-ups with a control panel that includes 2 volume controls, 2 circuit breakers and Rhythm/Solo switches for volume Boost … like the original issues!
