Hofner HCT500 Violin Bass sunburst

The models in this new series are based on Höfner originals of the ´60s, '70s and ´80s. However, the Contemporary models are no yesterday's collectors' items, but designed for the tough live performance of today's guitarist. All Contemporary semi-acoustic instruments are fitted with a center block for added sustain.

Contemporary version of the Violin Bass: the sustain block inside the body makes for modern, fulminant deep-resonating bass sounds. Original Höfner 'Staple-Top' pick-ups.
