Hofner HCT-500/1-SB Sunburst

Offered for sale:

Used Hofner HCT-500/1-SB serial number M0303B008.

This bass is in excellent condition showing limited playing time.

The best-selling 500/1 Contemporary version of the Hofner Violin Bass Guitar in sunburst offers those wanting to own one of the World's iconic guitars the chance to do so at a very attractive price.

This is unlike the popular and very nice quality Hofner Ingition series basses, which is the style of the 1964 version. The Hofner Contemporary Series is a dead-on replica of the German made instrument with one modern upgrade; 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.

Hard shell case included.

“We carefully inspect every instrument when we buy it and bring it up to our standards before we offer it for sale. We also do a full set up before we ship.”
