Full Description.

The Höfner HCT-5001 Contemporary Violin Bass (Sunburst) is a 4-String Electric Bass, and the Contemporary Series version of the ever popular Violin Bass. The Contemporary Violin Bass features a completely Hollow Body consisting of a Flame Maple Back and Sides that are joined by a Spruce Top, a combination that hasn’t changed since its first inception and one of the main factors of its signature sound. The Body is joined by a Slim Profile Short-Scale Flame Maple/Beech/Flame Maple Neck that is topped with a 22-Fret Jatoba Fingerboard with White Pearl Dot-Inlays.

The body of the Contemporary Violin Bass is fitted with 2x Höfner Staple Pick-Ups, another major contributing factor to the signature Violin Bass Sound. These are accompanied by a Control Circuit that consists of Dual Volume Controls, On/Off Switches for both Pick-Ups and a Rhythm/Solo Circuit Select Switch. This set-up allows for the classic Violin Bass Tone to be easily dialled in, whilst also being versatile enough to produce a range of more modern Tones.
