In 1956, Walter Hofner had an idea for an amplified semi-acoustic bass. When it was brought to life, his idea revolutionized popular music. Many players revere Hofner's Violin Bass as a legend because of its historical significance and its warm, woody, double-bass-like amplified tone. The Hofner Violin Bass is a unique instrument with a smooth, sweet sound and a playing ease that simply eludes most ordinary basses. With original scarce and expensive, popular demand compelled Hofner to recreate the Club Bass 500/2. The new Club Bass borrows the feel, the tone, and many features from the Vintage '63 and combines them with a single-cutaway profile.
