Here we have a killer, Excellent condition Hofner Club Bass Ignition Series that really knows how to thump! While this is perfect for the classic tunes of the 60's, with some light overdrive this bass can really dig through the mix. It truly sounds huge! This one has been worked over by a pro luthier, including a full fretdress, bridge refit to the top, new saddle wire and setup with black tape wounds. The Pearloid pickguard is now installed - not shown in pics, fyi. Includes a nice Hofner hardshell case in Excellent condition. This might be the best playing budget Hofner out there!
Please note: this is a consignment item and is sold as-is, no returns.
Here is what Hofner has to say:
The Ignition (HI) series offers you the chance to own a piece of history even on a tight budget. This model has a fully hollow body combined with Höfner 70's style 'staple' pick-ups to give the authentic Höfner sound. It is of course fitted with the famous Höfner control panel, this has on/off for each pick-up, solo/rhythm switch and individual volume controls. This special edition has the famous Hofner Tea Cup knobs on the control panel and has Hofner flatwound st... trings for that 60s sound! Finished in a special color for a truly distinctive bass.
Lightweight and with its short scale (30") neck it is a pleasure to play, even for hours without getting back-ache and fatigue.
