This is a Mint Condition  Hofner Contemporary Verythin Bass Semi Hollow Body Electric Bass Guitar .

Serious Vintage 1960's UK Vibe.

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 Contemporary Verythin Bass at a Glance:

  • Hofner Staple humbuckers deliver classic bass guitar tone
  • Comfortable Verythin body balances great tone and feel
  • Hofner - creating fantastic stringed instruments since 1887


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 Verythin body that the rest of the Hofner Contemporary Verythin Bass is built around delivers a perfect balance of hollowbody vibe and solidbody 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.

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.
