Description
This top-notch Hofner 500/2 Club Bass takes inspiration from the original Hofner Club that took the music world by storm in the mid-'60s. This bass plays beautifully and boasts an authentic hollowbody sound, courtesy of its arched body, comfortable contours, and classic "stack" pickups.
The flame maple body of this 500/2 Club looks gorgeous and projects a woody resonance with a tight and articulate top-end. Its hollowbody construction imparts its sound with a big, thumping low-end, making the 500/2 Club excellent for classic rock, Motown tunes, and old-school soul.
Don't be fooled, though - while this bass excels at churning out classic tones, it has loads of versatility on tap. With independent volume knobs for each pickup, two pickup switches, and a rhythm/solo switch that cuts volume and treble, you'll be able to dial in loads of great sounds to suit your needs.
This Hofner 500/2 Club Bass features a limited edition Vintage Aged Sunburst finish and relic job, giving it the vibe and feel of a well-played, broken-in bass. Whether you're playing bouncing McCartney basslines or Kevin Parker grooves, this bass offers an excellent in-hand feel.
With its stellar blend of style, sound, and feel, this Hofner is a formidable hollow body bass that exudes quality from top to bottom. If you've been searching for a classic Hofner bass without the vintage markup, you need to check out this Hofner 500/2 Club Bass.
