It features a sublime hollow body which is not only lightweight and comfortable to play, but also delivers exceptional resonance for an immersive, full sound. The top is crafted from spruce, giving you sparkling clarity and delicious dynamics, whilst the maple back and sides enhance each note with glistening brightness. And when you have a rosewood fretboard underneath your fingertips, you can be sure to play flawlessly and with absolute ease.
Providing gorgeous vintage tonal properties, the Hofner Ignition Staple Nickel pickups promise a sound that will pierce through any mix. Their sonic capabilities are reminiscent of the 1960s, reminding us of the legends that have counted on Hofner basses, such as The Beatles' Sir Paul McCartney.

Full Description
A dazzling build
One of the most compelling features of this bass is the stunning hollow construction. It comes with a whole host of tonal and practical benefits that promise a truly mesmerising sound, whether you're in the studio or on stage. This hollow-body build captures the natural tones of the flamed maple back and sides and the spruce top, retaining every touch of definition and teaming it with beautiful resonance. Better still, it is also comfortably lightweight, so you can play for hours and hours without that dreaded shoulder strain.
As well as having such a spectacular sea of resonance enhancing your sound, the maple back and sides will ensure you're not hindered by any muddy feedback that is typically associated with hollow-body instruments. Maple offers glistening articulation and wonderful brightness that team perfectly with the rich tonal properties of the hollow construction.
Exceptional clarity
Complementing the maple body is a stunning spruce top. It is exceptionally versatile and offers a balanced, articulate sound with incredible dynamics. Whatever your style, whatever technique you use, perform confidently knowing each and every note will flow from the strings with excellent volume and definition behind them.
