Hofner HI-CA-SE-SB Ignition

Violin Bass Sunburst

The sound of a violin bass is unlike any other bass.  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 slightly 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.
