Item Description

Hofner Shorty Violin Beatle Bass Hofner recently added the Shorty Violin Bass to their range in late 2022. This very cool short scale design combines the vintage flair of a 50s violin Beatle bass with the compact travel format of the Shorty. Developed back in the 1980s, the Hofner Shorty Bass series still enjoys great popularity today. The iconic Shorty design is known all over the world and is now joined by the iconic "Beatle Bass" design. Whether travelling, at home on the sofa, in the rehearsal room or even on a real stage, this bass sounds and feels great! Despite the delicate appearance of this lightweight, you always have enough power and punch in your pocket.
