Product Description

Here's What Hofner Say About the Ignition Club Bass

The Ignition (HI) series offers you the chance to own a piece of history even on a tight budget. This model has a fully hollow body combined with Höfner 70's style 'staple' pick-ups to give the authentic Höfner sound. It is of course fitted with the famous Höfner control panel, this has on/off for each pick-up, solo/rhythm switch and individual volume controls. 

Lightweight and with its short scale (30") neck it is a pleasure to play, even for hours without getting back-ache and fatigue. This high-gloss black version will look good in any band.

This bass comes at the perfect price point for players requiring the classic Höfner sound on a budget.

It sounds brilliant, and plays brilliantly. Especially for the price. One small thing is that the tailpiece is fixed slightly off-centre – I plan to change this at some point.

Fantastic bass for the price! I was definitely surprised by the build quality, sound and play-ability of this bass considering the price and where it is made. I rated it 4 stars as intonation was ok at best, still totally playable straight out the box regardless. I would recommend the Club Bass to anyone looking for a hollow bass guitar! Oh, and flatwounds are a must on this bass for that 'true' Hofner tone.

Such a lovely short-scale guitar - plays really well out of the box - much lighter than I imagined but that’s no bad thing. Looks great too.

Excellent finish, quality and workmanship for a “Made in China” bass. Action and setup was ready to play out of the box. Can’t stop playing it once I pick it up. Now my go to bass! Congrats Hofner for such good quality control of your China factory!
