The Hofner Vintage '62 Violin electric bass guitar is inspired by Paul McCartney's 1963 Hofner Violin Bass. This hollowbody bass provides the unmistakable tone and playability that defined an era. Its slim neck and fully hollow body deliver ringing sustain and woody punch.
Iconic Hollowbody Design
The Hofner Vintage '62 Violin Bass features the violin-shaped hollow body that Hofner introduced in 1956 and made famous. Its hollow construction provides a warm, resonant tone with articulate lows, open mids and singing highs. The bass's 30" scale length offers tight, focused bass tones.
Slim, Fast Neck
This Hofner bass has a slim neck profile with a shallow D shape that fits comfortably in your hand. Its rosewood fingerboard has a fast, 12" radius and 22 medium frets that provide buttery playability for articulate runs and solos.
Vintage-Accurate Parts
From its vintage-style control knobs to its rosewood bridge, the Hofner Vintage '62 Violin Bass is built with parts modeled after 1960s components. It has two Hofner Staple-top pickups that deliver a wide range of classic tones from deep and dubby to bright and punchy. Volume and tone controls for each pickup let you craft your ideal sound.
