The Hofner Icon Bass allows players to get that woody Beatle bass sound at a great price. The Icon Bass features vintage-style pickups for vintage tone.

If you are looking for a Hofner Beatle bass but are not looking to shell out the big bucks for an original, check out the Hofner Icon Bass. The Hofner Icon Bass features a spruce plywood top with a maple plywood back and vintage style pickups for a tone that is reminiscent of the British invasion. The Icon Bass also includes a pearl inlaid Hofner logo and a polyurethane finish for years of use.

I plan to keep my Hofner Icon the rest of mt life,and at some point I might buy the Contemporary model.
Sound
The Hofner Icon has amazing depth and clarity.After a set up, It's easy to play.It has good sustain.It sounds exacly like Paul's bass.I would not hesitate to play it live or record with it.I've played it thru a Carvin 1000 watt head at 2 ohms per side using 4 cabs at 2-18",1-15",and 2-12" and it sounds awsome! It also sounds great thru my small practice system. The bridge isn't adjustment friendly,but you can get it close and it sounds fine. I plan to install a Hofner bridge. The stock strings sound great, but I plan to buy La Bella strings. It is an amazing bass,and I would buy another.
Features
The Hofner Icon comes with an allen wrench for adjusting the truss rod. The neck is thin and easy to play and I have big hands. It's light and comfortable.It has a great deep and clear acoustical sound.The finish is glossy and the color is a brown/rustyelloworange.It looks great.
Ease of Use
The Hofner Icon is very cmfortable and easy to play
Quality
The Hofner Icons being made right now have improved in quality. The finish is great looking, the hardware is snug,no rattles. I belive the Icon is road worthy and will last.
Value

The Wow Factor
