Höfner HCT-500/1-SB Contemporary Antique Brown Sunburst

The contemporary version of the bass violin: Sustain block inside the body allows modern, deep bass sounds.  Original Höfner "Staple Top" pick-up.

The sound of a bass fiddle is unlike any other bass guitar.  When used with smooth strings it produces a distinctive deep, penetrating thud not unlike that of an upright double bass.  This sound can be used to emulate the pop sounds of the 1960s or lightly saturated in a modern rock band to provide deep, powerful bass. 

Today it is also commonly used in studios to record bass lines for dance music.  It has also seen increasing use in reggae bands where deep bass is always desired.  Despite being one of the smallest basses available, it easily produces massive bass lines and is remarkably versatile.
