Description
Deliver deep, thumpin' bass lines with the Hofner Ignition Pro Violin Bass. Inspired by the sound and style of the British Invasion, this bass has a sleek vintage aesthetic and a rich, vibrant sound. For musicians chasing that old-school hollow-body bass tone without breaking the bank, the Ignition Pro Violin Bass is a perfect fit.
This bass features a hollow flame maple body with a spruce top, giving it a resonant, balanced tone with crisp highs and warm, full lows. Due to its hollow-body design, it's remarkably light, making it excellent for bassists looking to minimize shoulder strain and maximize comfort. Plus, its 30" scale length enhances playability, making it easier to reach those lower frets and perform speedy bass fills.
Outfitted with Hofner Staple pickups, the Ignition Pro Violin Bass produces rounded lows and sweet, vibrant mids. Independent volume knobs and on/off switches for each pickup, plus a rhythm/solo switch, allow for precise tone-shaping and an output boost when needed.
A favorite of Paul McCartney and countless bass legends, the Hofner Violin Bass is a true icon. Embrace the timeless sound of the '60s with the Ignition Pro Violin Bass, a beautifully designed, value-packed instrument for today's bassist.
