Höfner Ignition Violin Bass (black)

Höfner

The Höfner Ignition Special Edition (SE) instruments are based on the Höfner Violin Bässen from the 1970s. Unlike the Contemporary series, the Ignition Bässe have a hollow resonance body. In addition to the classic control panel with Tea Cup pots, they feature a wooden bridge and trapeze tailpiece and carry the traditional Höfner logo on the body. The new Cavern version (HI-CA-SE-SB) of our Ignition bass offers the famous pick up spacing from 1961 in addition to the already mentioned features. All our Ignitions (SE) come with a certificate of authenticity and the legendary BASSMAN sticker. The video shows the standard model. The sound is identical to the Limited Edition model.
