The ignition club is constructed with a full hollow-body design, utilising a spruce top and flamed maple back and sides, the full spectrum of sound is covered. The maple earths the tone with a full-bodied foundation, offering a tight together low end, with a compact mid-range, and exceptional harmonics within the high-end, all of which the spruce top reinforces with its own tonal characteristic. Absent of f-holes, the projection of the instrument is still preserved, but the resonance is elevated to new heights.
This hollow-body bass is constructed to ensure you play to the best of your abilities. A luscious rosewood fretboard guarantees the peak of performance, giving you a flawless surface to glide across with ease and accuracy. This is backed up by an excellent maple neck which provides a comfortable grasp that still guarantees enough freedom to blaze basslines across the range of the instrument.
As well as offering a superb acoustic tone, the Ignition Club Bass is equipped with a pair of Hofner staple nickel pickups to offer a big classic sound, reminiscent of the 1960s.
