Step into the spotlight with the Hofner Ignition Series Electric Violin Bass, a homage to the legendary instrument that graced the golden era of rock and roll. This series is steeped in musical history, famously associated with Sir Paul McCartney and the indelible legacy of The Beatles.
The Ignition Series proudly mirrors the timeless design of the original Hofner violin basses that Paul McCartney popularized in the early 1960s, particularly during the recording of the iconic album, 'Abbey Road.' Its hollow body construction is responsible for the deep, rich tones that became a staple in the creation of The Beatles' groundbreaking sound.
True to its roots, the Special Edition models feature a classic control panel with Tea Cup knobs, a wooden bridge, a vintage-style trapeze tailpiece, and the iconic Hofner logo that maintains the spirit of the '70s. The HI-CA-SE-SB or Cavern variant replicates the unique '61 pickup spacing, reminiscent of the bass McCartney played at their seminal Cavern Club performances, solidifying its status in rock history.
Each bass, including the HI-BB-SE available in sunburst (SB) and black (BK), as well as the left-handed sunburst (L-SB), is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and the collectible BASSMANN sticker, a nod to the bass's influential past.
Whether you're a die-hard Beatles aficionado or a bassist seeking the warm, melodic tone revered by one of the greatest musicians of our time, the Hofner Ignition Series Electric Violin Bass is your passage to a rich musical heritage.
