Hofner Ignition Violin Bass, Sunburst
The Hofner Ignition Violin Bass Limited Edition draws inspiration from Hofner's iconic '70s models, delivering both versatility and a premium playing experience. With a lightweight hollow body made from spruce and maple, this bass provides a harmonious blend of resonance, brightness, and clarity. Each note shines with rich dynamics, enhanced by the smooth, durable thermo-modified jatoba fretboard. The hollow-body construction amplifies the natural tone of the flamed maple back and sides, alongside the spruce top, creating a vibrant and balanced sound perfect for studio or stage. Additionally, its lightweight design ensures long hours of comfortable play without the usual shoulder strain.
The maple back and sides help mitigate unwanted feedback, providing crisp articulation that pairs beautifully with the hollow body's deep resonance. The spruce top adds versatility, ensuring that every note is defined and dynamic, no matter the playing style.
Bringing back the timeless tone of the '60s, the Hofner Ignition Staple Nickel pickups, situated at the neck and bridge, deliver a bold, vintage sound. These pickups, known for their classic Hofner tone, offer premium performance at an affordable price. The vintage sound can be further shaped using the Hofner control panel, allowing you to craft a tone reminiscent of legends like The Beatles' Sir Paul McCartney while still adding your personal touch.
