Designed around a 30 inch short-scale neck and an ultra-compact body, the Hofner Shorty Bass Guitar in Black prioritises portability without sacrificing playability. This travel-ready bass from Hofner weighs just 2.28 kg and fits into tight spaces where full-size instruments can't go. The rosewood fingerboard and reduced scale length make fretting effortless, particularly useful for players with smaller hands or those transitioning from guitar. A single Hofner humbucker pickup delivers punchy low-end with focused attack, offering enough tonal character for recording, rehearsal, and performance applications across multiple genres.
The 98 cm depth and 22 cm width make this bass substantially smaller than standard models, yet the short-scale design maintains proper string tension and intonation. The humbucker sits in a position that captures balanced output with minimal noise, giving bedroom producers and mobile musicians a direct, usable signal that works well through amp or interface. Finished in gloss black and supplied with a gig bag, the instrument is ready for immediate transport. The lightweight construction doesn't compromise structural integrity, and the reduced mass makes extended practice sessions more comfortable while standing or seated.
