Hofner HI-BB-PE-L-SB Left handed Ignition Pro Series Violin Bass, Sunburst

The sound of a Violin Bass is unlike any other bass. When used with flatwound strings it produces a distinctive deep and penetrating thud not unlike an upright double bass. This sound can be used to emulate those pop sounds of the 1960s or slightly overdriven in a modern rock band to provide a deep driving bass. It is also commonly used today in studios for recording bass lines for dance music. It has also seen increasing use in reggae bands where a deep driving bass is always wanted. Despite being one of the smallest basses available it easily produces massive bass lines and is remarkably versatile. This new version includes vintage "Tea Cup" knobs and flatwound strings. Here's your chance to get the classic Hofner look and sound,
