Hofner Toaster humbuckers deliver classic bass guitar tone
Everyone knows that the biggest contributor to your tone is the set of pickups loaded in your instrument. The Toaster humbuckers that come standard on the Contemporary President Bass are designed to provide you with the same vintage bass tone that put Hofner on the map, back in the early mid '60s. So, if you're looking for that iconic warm, woody, and almost acoustic tone, then you'll be thrilled with this Retro style Bass!


Hofner - creating fantastic stringed instruments since 1887
Karl Hofner sold his first violins in 1887, and the Hofner company has been hand-building exceptional instruments ever since. When Sir Paul McCartney purchased a 500/1 Violin Bass to use with The Beatles, Hofner became a household name amongst musicians worldwide. With a focus on top-notch craftsmanship and tone, you'll feel and hear the difference when you get the Contemporary Verythin Bass in your hands.

There is no case with this guitar. ( I have cases to fit for $89 if you need one )
