Hofner HCT 5001 Violin Bass Sunburst HCT5001SB

The Hofner HCT 5001 Violin Bass is an exquisite replica of the 1964 original taking us back to the days of the Beatles and delivering a superb vintage sound. Its dazzling compact design includes a short scale of 30" on a luscious rosewood fretboard allowing you to fret with absolute control and silky-smooth playability. A spruce top and maple back and sides then bring astounding articulation and sparkling brightness to your sound so you can be sure exude deliciously defined notes that will pierce through any heavy mix. Hofner Staple Nickel pickups loaded at the bridge and neck give this bass its thrilling 60s tone. Prepare for crisp attack and the right amount of snap that make for a spine-tingling performance. And better still gorgeous resonance and sustain are produced by the centre block giving you a beautifully balanced sound that is both immersive and articulate. The result of such an innovative design? The perfect mix of vintage sound and modern playability equipping you with everything you need to play comfortably and experience stunningly rich 60s tones.
