Hofner HCT 500/1 Contemporary Violin Beatle Bass Sunburst

Used Hofner CT Series Violin Bass in Sunburst Finish in mint condition. The Hofner HCT 500/1 is the contemporary series version of the famous Beatle Bass by Hofner, upgraded from the Icon series. The CT Series is an almost exact copy in the true sense of the word, it's hard tell it apart, side by side, with the German made instrument. Features include a sustain block inside the body that makes for a modern deep resonating bass with superior sustain. Comes with the original Höfner (German made) 'Staple-Top' pick-ups, Zero Fret, Binding, Parchment tinted pickguard and control panel.

Please contact the shop if you'd like to add a set of "tea-cup" knobs or flat-wound strings to your CT bass for a small fee (both are must-have upgrades in our book).
