Good Bass
I bought 1.5 year ago from Thomann. They shipped to Turkey. It reached to me without any problem and I play since that time. Many thanks to Thomann.
So its my first bass guitar. Im Beatles fan, I would like buy 500/1 bass but expensive for me. I don't have any bass amp then I using with my Scarlett 2i2. Its very nice. I can say the sound just like review video on YouTube. Im happy with my bass. This bass guitar not need any recommend or advise. If it possible buy 500/1 not exactly buy this one. I have advise only for Turkish customer, buy with hard shell case because in Turkey not available. I bought with hard shell case and also Im very happy with that.
Türkiye'den alacaklara tavsiyem kanki bizim oralarda taşıma çantası bulunmuyor birlikte alın ve taşıma Çantaları çok sağlam, kesinlikle birlikte alın.

The pursuit for the right string!
I already knew before I ordered the Ignition SE, that change of strings was essential for it to sound better, because the default strings sound terrible. So I ordered a set of flat wounds, that were unfortunately too long for this violin bass. I had to reorder a set of medium scale, from the Hofner brand itself, and finally the bass was set up! It sounds amazing with the warm low end from the flat wounds, and the shorter neck makes it super playable. Let's not forget about the bargain you get for this price!

I've dreamed of owning an hofner ever since I was a kid! I do recall bawling my eyes out when I first saw it at a store and couldn't bring it home with me (I was only 14 then). Needless to say, as soon as I got my first ever paycheck, this bass was the so-long expected gift for myself. And I couldn't be happier with it! Its sound is surprisingly brilliant (even though I might upgrade it to labella strings), and I do love the vintage details of this version. Worth the buy!

Sounds Great, Looks Great, Perfect.
If you want a high quality traditional 4 string fretted bass that is light & easy to handle for Rock & Pop this is it. It won't break your back or your bank balance & there is low end to die for. It may be cheaper than the vintage models but this one has the full Hofner sound. Wonderful.

unbelievable value for money
Was hoping to get the contemporary model but it wasn't in stock so thought I'd give the Ignition a go. I was lucky enough to get the shop demo model that had been set up really well and I'm kind of blown away by the sound I'm getting out of 330 euro bass. It has a unique tone and I've been using it with the neck pick-up only. It's also great for recording - plugged straight into my A&H Gsr24m. Sounds lovely if you stroke the strings near the neck pick-up. Highly recommend. I actually changed the height of teh bridge a little bit - piece of cake!

Great Value
If you want a Hofner Bass and don't want to spend too much money then this is perfect. It is a good instrument, beautiful finish, good sound and authentic looking.
For a good sound you will have to swap the strings; as the ones it comes with are poor; but that is OK. I recommend the Pyramid Gold 040- 100 short scale; (amazing strings.)
Whilst you are at it it is worth oiling the neck with some lemon oil as it is very dry; and not as smooth as it could be.
It may take a little setting up, but this is a lovely instrument.

You Will Need to Buy a Set of Flatwounds
I didn't believe other people at first, but the strings that come on these basses are literally the worst strings i've ever played on anything so I bought some Pyramid Flatwounds and now it plays and sounds great. It is the only good quality bass that will last at this price point, yes the nut is not great and the bridge is very hard to adjust, but over time you can upgrade it. It really has potential to be a great bass with simple upgrades, would recommend to anyone as it will last as long as you want it too, you really can't go wrong!

Quality for the price
The finish and details of the instrument are top. Sound is what I expected from this: a classic.

A dream...
For a Beatles fan like me, who learned to play instruments just to play their songs, this Höfner Bass is my last new joy... I play guitars, piano and keyboards, but so much I was longing for this symbol of my youth and not only. Sound and esthetic are great, even if it’s a low price compared with the top models, I love it with no doubt. The beautiful shade of sunburst colour is something that I often admire without need to play, but when I play it it’s a dream revival. I love it, just like I love the Beatles.
