☀️SUNBURST GLOSS FINISH☀️
This Violin bass is in great used condition, it plays well with all electric working and has had minimal use. I will mention that the pic guard looks like it has been glued to the bracket and there’s a chip to the headstock and rear of the body (see all photos)

The Hofner HCT 5002 Club Bass is a contemporary version of the original Hofner Club Bass used by Sir Paul McCartney in the '60s. Immerse yourself in a beautiful vintage tone and experience smooth playability courtesy of the short scale design, silky rosewood fretboard, and elegant cutaway. A spruce top and maple back and sides then ensure every single note is coated with shimmering clarity, so you can be sure to blaze through the mix.
At the bridge and neck lie Hofner Staple Nickel pickups, the ultimate powerhouses for that thrilling '60s tone. They produce a crisp and snappy attack that promise great articulation and a mesmerising performance. And better still, gorgeous resonance and sustain are produced by the centre block, giving you a beautifully balanced sound that is both immersive and articulate. The result of such an innovative design? The perfect mix of vintage sound and modern playability, equipping you with everything you need to play comfortably and experience stunningly rich '60s tones.

Every note will blaze through the mix. And going one step further, the HCT 5002 Club Bass includes a centre block which will enhance your sound with magical levels of sustain and resonance.

Rosewood evens out any harsh frequencies, giving you a wonderfully balanced tone, whilst the maple and beech neck provides tremendous
strength and durability.
