General

Every inch of the Höfner 500/1 Special Edition takes its cues from the popular violin bass that first saw light of day in the early seventies. This semi-acoustic classic is part of Höfner's entry-level Ignition range, so bassists are offered timeless sound and design at an affordable price, while the lightweight hollow body and shorter 30 inch scale length provide the same level of comfort and playability as its more expensive cousins.

The Höfner Ignition SE 500/1 Violin Bass: Timeless Character

The vintage character and charm of the SE 500/1 Special Edition is voiced by two Ignition Staple pickups mounted at the neck and bridge positions and a set of standard-issue violin bass switches and controls. Isolate or combine the pickups before blending and balancing the output using the dedicated volume pots and darkening or lightening the result by boosting or cutting the bass and treble. A devoted emulation of an icon, the Höfner Ignition SE 500/1 Violin Bass ticks all the boxes.

Hofner Ignition SE 500/1 Violin Bass Transparent Black Semi-Acoustic Bass Guitar

Uitstekende bas,klinkt geweldig maar bax zou zijn producten voor verzending even moeten afregelen ,de actie van de lage E te laag en dus geratel en onbespeelbaar.
Iemand zonder ondervinding en kennis zou de bas direct terug sturen !
Maar wel UITSTEKEND 👍
