Delivering the best-selling 500/1 Contemporary iteration of the iconic Hofner Violin bass in a sophisticated and Limited Edition Dark Brown finish.

Limited Edition Dark Brown 'Cavern' Violin Bass 


Comfortably sitting halfway between Hofners budget Ignition series of violin basses and the expensive original, this mid-range contemporary series is both affordable and admirable - offering that classic violin bass tone without breaking the bank.

Hofner HCT 500/1 Violin Bass Cavern, Ltd Ed. Dark Brown Features:

  • Limited Edition Dark Brown Finish
  • Violin Bass Body with Sustain Block
  • Flame Maple Back & Side, Spruce Top
  • Short Scale 30" Neck
  • 'Cavern' Pickup Configuration
  • 22 Fret Rosewood Fingerboard

Cavern Configuration

Faithfully recreating the specific style of the 1961 Cavern model, this contemporary version features Hofners staple nickel pickups in the neck and middle positions to deliver that unmistakably 'Beatles' sound.

In combination with a central sustain block inside the chamber, this Cavern iteration produces a deep, resonant thump, whilst still retaining that signature round definition that it's known for.

Complete with the characteristically short scale 30" neck, this is undoubtedly a Hofner Violin Bass in every way - one of the most iconic and unique bass guitars ever produced!
