A classic Hofner hollowbody with legendary tone.
In 1956, Walter Hofner had an idea for an amplified semi acoustic bass. When it was brought to life, his idea resulted in a bass with a warm, woody, double bass like amplified tone. Players love it for its playing ease and its tone one of the smoothest, sweetest sounds in all of bassland.
Because the original became so scarce and expensive, popular demand compelled Hofner to re create the Club Bass 500/2. Now this LTD version of the 500/2 offers the same instrument with changes that make it even closer to the original. The pickups have been repositioned to the original spacing for truer vintage tone and a hand applied dark violin varnish gives it a more vintage vibe.
