Hofner Vintage '62 Violin Electric Bass Guitar
Description
The Hofner Vintage '62 Violin Electric Bass Guitar, inspired by Paul McCartney's 1963 Hofner violin bass. This hollow-body bass provides the unmistakable tone and playability that defined an era. Its slim neck and fully hollow body deliver ringing sustain and woody punch.
Iconic Hollow-Body Design
The Hofner Vintage '62 Violin Bass features the violin-shaped hollow body that Hofner introduced in 1956 and made famous. Its hollow construction provides a warm, resonant tone with articulate lows, open mids and singing highs. The bass's 30" scale length offers tight, focused bass tones.
Slim, Fast Neck
This Hofner bass has a slim neck profile with a shallow D shape that fits comfortably in your hand. Its rosewood fingerboard has a fast, 12" radius and 22 medium frets that provide buttery playability for articulate runs and solos.
Vintage-Accurate Parts
From its vintage-style control knobs to its rosewood bridge, the Hofner Vintage '62 Violin Bass is built with parts modeled after 1960s components. It has two Hofner staple-top pickups that deliver a wide range of classic tones from deep and dubby to bright and punchy. Volume and tone controls for each pickup let you craft your ideal sound.
