The Hofner 500/1 Violin Bass 4-String Semi Acoustic Bass Guitar in Sunburst was first released in 1956 and, thanks to a range of high profile users, has become one of the most recognisable bass guitars around.
The Hofner 500/1 Violin Bass features a completely hollow body that consists of a Flame Maple back and sides that are joined by 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 slim profile short scale Flame Maple/Beech/Flame Maple neck that is topped with a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard with white pearl dot inlays.
The body of the Hofner 500/1 Violin Bass is fitted with a pair of Hofner Staple pickups, another major contributing factor to 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 an Ebony bridge, a Hofner trapeze tailpiece and a set of single Nickel tuners.
The main features of the Hofner 500/1 Violin Bass 4-String Semi Acoustic Bass Guitar in Sunburst include:
Höfner HCT-500/1-SB Contemporary Violin Bass (Sunburst)It arrived today, The color is exactly what I was expecting, a bit tobacco not orangy like in other pictures, the build quality is really good, I'm going to upgrade my baby with German electronics and parts. I recommend it 100%. Thank you Music Store Professional.
As a Beatles fan I was skeptic about the Hofner CT500/1. But oh surprise, it's beautifully built and finished. I replaced the Knobs also available in Music Store Professional ( Höfner H909/15 Gold Top Knob) is looking really good. The color is exactly what I expected (not orangy like in lower models, rather elegant tobacco) just like in the pictures of the Fab Four.
The sound is amazing a mix of classic and contemporary sound. The delivery was fast and always able to track it. I recommend buying in Music Store professional the Hofner 500/1 Violin Bass as an excellent affordable instrument for any style of music.
