Part of Hofner's mid-tier Contemporary (\"CT\") Series — a step up from the budget Ignition line — the HCT-500\/7 brings genuine German-inspired design sensibility to a beautifully crafted semi-hollow instrument built for players who want real tone, real style, and real playability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Very Thin's sleek archtop body is deceptively lightweight, making it an absolute pleasure to play for extended sessions whether you're on stage or in the studio. The 30\" short scale neck is fast and comfortable, with an easy feel that suits both seasoned players and those looking for an easy playable instrument. Unlike the fully hollow Ignition models, the Contemporary Series features a sustain block through the body — adding note clarity and feedback resistance while retaining that warm, woody semi-hollow character that Hofner basses are famous for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis particular example presents in very good condition, showing minimum signs of a previous life well-lived. All electronics are fully functional, and the instrument plays exactly as it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSemi-hollow archtop body with sustain block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e30\" short-scale neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDual Hofner humbucking pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePolyurethane finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eChrome hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCase included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOFNER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49522117345519,"sku":"01-HCT-500\/7-SB-0","price":2199.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/4071\/files\/0H3A2265.jpg?v=1776397477","url":"https:\/\/www.basscentre.com.au\/products\/hofner-contemporary-very-thin-bass","provider":"Bass Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
