Hofner Contemporary Series Verythin Bass Semi Hollow 4 String 2012-2026

Classic Hofner Sound in a Modern Jazz Box Bass!

Combining the low profile of a typical electric bass guitar with the added resonance of a hollow body, the semi-hollowbody Hofner Contemporary Verythin Bass is one of the most flexible instruments you're likely to come across.

 A body made of flame maple topped with spruce provides you with thunderous lows and superb midrange articulation, which a pair of magnificent Hofner Staple humbucking pickups catch in all of their detail.

Whether you're going for jazzy vibe of a warm and satisfying tone, the Hofner Contemporary Verythin Bass is an excellent choice!

Hofner Staple humbuckers deliver classic bass guitar tone
Everyone knows that the biggest contributor to your tone is the set of pickups loaded in your instrument. The Staple humbuckers that come standard on the Contemporary Verythin Bass are designed to provide you with the same vintage bass tone that put Hofner on the map, back in the early mid '60s. So, if you're looking for that iconic warm, woody, and almost acoustic tone, then you'll be thrilled with this Contemporary Verythin Bass!

Comfortable Verythin body balances great tone and feel
A mere 1.2" thick, the Very thin body that the rest of the Hofner Contemporary Very thin Bass is built around delivers a perfect balance of hollow body vibe and solid body resonance. A long spruce center block ensures that you get plenty of sustain, whereas classic F holes provide acoustic breathing room and a cool vintage look. Double cutaways provide you with limitless access to the fretboard, and although the Verythin body keeps the Contemporary Verythin Bass from weighing down your shoulder, it's still broad enough to be comfortable to play sitting down.

Hofner - creating fantastic stringed instruments since 1887
Karl Hofner sold his first violins in 1887, and the Hofner company has been hand-building exceptional instruments ever since. When Sir Paul McCartney purchased a 500/1 Violin Bass to use with The Beatles, Hofner became a household name amongst musicians worldwide. With a focus on top-notch craftsmanship and tone, you'll feel and hear the difference when you get the Contemporary Verythin Bass in your hands.
