Hofner Ignition Violin Bass, SE Bassman, Black HIBBSEBK

The Ignition Special Edition (SE) basses are based on the Höfner violin basses from the 1970s. In contrast to the Contemporary series, the Ignition basses have a hollow body making it comfortably leightweight.

In addition to the classic control panel with Tea Cup knobs, they are equipped with a wooden bridge and trapeze tailpiece and carry the traditional Höfner logo on the body.

Featuring a stunning spruce top and flamed maple back and sides, the hollow construction of this bass lends itself to dreamy playing experiences.

The maple back and sides will ensure you're not hindered by any muddy feedback that is typically associated with hollow-body instruments. Maple offers glistening articulation and wonderful brightness that team perfectly with the rich tonal properties of the hollow construction.

They're a Hofner staple, so you know you can rely on them. Hofner Ignition Staple Nickel pickups are loaded at the neck and bridge for a '60s-inspired sound. Prepare for a massive, classic, and beautifully vintage tone. And thanks to the famous Hofner control panel, which includes EQ controls and a volume dial for each pickup, you can be sure to be instantly recognisable.
