Developed back in the 1980s, Höfner's Shorty Bass series still enjoys great popularity today. The iconic Shorty design is known around the world and has been offered in many different custom colors throughout the years. Since 2022, Höfner has added the "all solid" Shorty Violin Bass to the lineup, combining the vintage flair of a 1950s violin bass with the compact travel format of the Shorty.

Whether you're traveling, relaxing at home, in the rehearsal room, or even performing on stage—despite its delicate appearance, this lightweight bass delivers plenty of power and punch.

The Shorty Violin Bass features an easy-to-play scale length of 762 mm (30"), a nut width of 42 mm (1.65"), and compact overall dimensions: overall length of 997 mm (39.25"), maximum width of 230 mm (9.06"), and a weight of 2.4 kg (5.29 lbs). Tea Cup knobs. Color: Sunburst. Bag included.
