Hofner Special Edition Ignition 500/1 Violin Bass Black

Description

Hofner Special Edition Ignition 500/1 Violin Bass Black

Ignition Special Edition (SE) basses are based on the Hofner Violin Basses from the 1970s. Unlike the Contemporary series, Ignition basses have a hollow body with a block connecting the top and back (similar to the construction inside a violin). This reduces feedback at high stage volumes. In addition to the classic control panel with Tea Cup knobs, they feature a wooden bridge and a trapeze tailpiece, and display the traditional Hofner logo on the body. The Cavern version

(HI-CA-SE-SB) of our Ignition bass offers the famous 1961 pickup spacing, in addition to the features already mentioned. All of our Ignition (SE) models come with a certificate of authenticity and the famous BASSMANN sticker.

The HI-BB-SE model is available in sunburst (SB) or black (BK).

Furthermore, the SB version is also available for left-handed players at no extra cost.

All models are equipped with tea cup knobs.

Nut width 42 mm, scale length 762 mm (30")
