Vintage Semi-hollowbody Basses For sale
Semi hollowed bass’s were designed and made when bass manufacturers decided to attempt to strike a balance between hollowed bodied basses and solid bodied basses. This was also done with the guitar, but before it had been done with the bass.
Semi hollow’s hit a mixture and balance between solid and hollowed bodied basses. It’s heavier then the hollow but lighter then the solid. It can create unique tunes and tones that neither the hollow or solid can hit, it is also said to have a greater sustain, much like the guitar version. This variation of the bass dates to around the 1950’s and 1960’s, when basses were becoming increasingly popular and were being marketed more. A lot of bass variations date back to these times.
