With authentic details inspired by the original, the Hofner Vintage Style Bass makes the legendary violin bass available to the rest of us.
Don't get the idea that this a just a "nowhere man" look-alike. This quality instrument features a spruce top and beautiful flamed maple back and sides.
The semi-hollow body and set neck will give you the warm, round tone you expect from the violin bass.
