Höfner Ignition Beatles Bass VSB Vintage Sunburst

The Hofner Violin Bass Ignition 4-String Semi Acoustic Bass Guitar in Sunburst has been designed specifically for those who desire the classic Violin Bass sound on a budget.

The Hofner Violin Bass Ignition features a completely hollow body that consists of Flame Maple back and a Spruce top, a combination that hasn’t changed since its first inception and is one of the main factors in its signature sound. The body is joined by a 30" short-scale Maple neck that is topped with a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard with white dot inlays.

The body of the Hofner Violin Bass Ignition is fitted with a pair of Hofner Ignition Staple pickups, a variant on the original models that are more than capable of reproducing the signature Violin Bass sound. These are accompanied by a control circuit that consists of dual volume controls, on/off switches for both pickups and a rhythm/solo circuit select switch. This setup allows for the classic Violin Bass tone to be easily dialled in, while also being versatile enough to produce a range of more modern tones.

The Hofner 500/1 Violin Bass guitar also comes equipped with a Rosewood bridge, a Hofner trapeze tailpiece and a set of single Nickel tuners.
