So, if you're looking for that iconic warm, woody, and almost acoustic tone, then you'll be thrilled with this Retro style Bass!


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.

My Store Demo guitars and basses are a tremendous value. These guitars are often sold at hundreds of dollars less than their 'new' counterparts. They have never been previously sold in retail or distributed to a music store. They usually have a minor cosmetic flaw that prevents them from being sold as new instruments. These instruments do not have major flaws (UNLESS STATED). These blemishes or marks do not affect the playability of the instruments at all. All the electronics, pickups, tuners, neck and frets etc. are good. I buy my guitars and basses directly from the manufacturer. There is no manufactures warranty Each instrument gets set up and checked by me before it is released for sale.
