Hofner HCT-500/8 Verythin CT Long Scale Bass Dark Cherry Transparent Semi-Acoustic Bass Guitar
Product no: 9000-0105-1058 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Want the looks and feel of a Verythin bass mixed with a traditionally long scale length? Look no further than the Hofner HCT-500/8 Verythin CT Long Scale Bass. In addition to a 34" scale length and a lightweight-and-comfortable semi-hollow body, this electric bass guitar features several other modern upgrades like a special Tune-O-Matic-style bridge and a stop tailpiece. While the humbucker pickups in the neck and middle position are a little more contemporary too, they deliver nothing but a range of highly familiar, well-balanced sounds and come with individual volume and tone pots so you can effortlessly dial in the tastiest tonal blends.
