Hofner HCT 5001 Violin Bass, Sunburst | Gear4music demo

Harking back to the days of the Beatles, this short scale guitar has striking, compact looks, and a sound to match the original 1964 version.

Made from maple and spruce this is the best-selling 500/1 Contemporary version of the Hofner Violin Bass Guitar and offers those wanting to own one of the World's iconic guitars the chance to do so at a very attractive price.

Recreating the style of the 1964 version, the Contemporary features a sustain block inside the body to give modern, deep-resonating bass sounds while still retaining the original Hofner Beatles bass sound. With a short scale of 30" and the small violin bass body it is one of greatest electric bass guitars ever made.
