| Electric Bass Guitar. Made by Hofner. (MF.511773)
A blast from the past! In 1956, Walter Hofner had an idea for an amplified semi-acoustic bass. When it was brought to life, it proved a unique instrument with a smooth, sweet sound and a playing ease that simply eludes most ordinary basses. Many players revere Hofner's Violin Bass as a legend because of its historical significance and its warm, woody, double-bass-like amplified tone.
Named for the year the most familiar version of the Violin Bass was popularized, the Vintage '63 captures its characteristic tone - deep, warm and reminiscent of a full-size string bass. Built to be as durable as its legacy, the compact-sized, easy-to-play, light-in-weight Vintage '63 is equally at home onstage or in the studio.
