Here for sale we have a Hofner HI-Series B-Bass Ignition Violin Electric Bass in Sunburst Finish. This guitar has been designed to include the original characteristics of the Hofner 500​/​1 design. This guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Maple back and sides body topped with Spruce, Maple neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. This instrument features a semi-acoustic construction, compact body shape and short scale length just like the original 500​/​1. The pickups installed are a pair of Hofner Ignition Staple humbucking pickups. These are wired to a 2-way toggle switch, 2 Independent volume knobs and bass​/​treble toggle switch. The ‘C’ shaped Maple neck plays extremely easily, with its vintage slim style. The gloss finish to the rear of the neck makes for a smooth and pleasing playing surface while the Rosewood fretboard provides a durable playing surface. The short scale length plus the hollow body construction makes for a lightweight and fluid playing instrument. The Hofner Ignition Staple humbuckers provided a powerful yet balanced sound that is extremely versatile. The thick, thumping low end is complemented with punchy mids and detailed highs. The humbuckers amplify the naturally resonant hollow body making for a huge, and remarkably versatile, sound despite being one of the smallest basses. The pickups are wired to independent on and off switches and volume pots making for simple yet comprehensive control of your tone.
