A definite plus on an ignition. Installation is easy.
The knob central decorations were falling off at first, so they had to be glue back on. Maybe due to transportation?
Be sure to issue a separate order for this, because otherwise Thomann delivery guys just throw that very fragile part in a huge box and it might get smashed by heavier items.
Also, a nice trick if you want your ignition pick-guard to look as yellowish as this one, dismount it and place it a few days in the sun.

Perfect upgrade to a HCT 500/1
BeatleBassJames 02.06.2021
Exactly what I needed to upgrade my Contemporary Series Hofner violin bass.
The Bass sounds great now, and looks a little more like the real thing.
I had a Nashville luthier install it for me, as it was a little bit confusing for me to solder in the German made panel after looking at the original Made in China electronics, which are inferior parts. Also, the screws for the German Panel are slightly smaller, so the holes had to be filled and re-drilled. All in all about a $90 USD charge to install the panel and set up the bass for playability - completely worth it. Thanks Thomann!

SO
Does what is says on the tin

I bought this genuine Hofner switch panel to upgrade my Hofner Contemporary violin bass. It did exactly what I wanted and the vintage look is great. The difference to sound quality from better wiring was less noticeable but I think it will prolong the life of the electronics. Definitely worth buying to upgrade or replace in my opinion.

Have an Ignition Bass-You Need This !!
Anonymous 08.12.2022
If you own a Chinese or Indonesian Made Hofner Ignition Violin Bass, you need to upgrade to this switchplate. The tonal performance is amazing. This is mainly due (not just because of the improved engineering and components) but because of the REAL capacitors and better quality wiring used in this plate -which is made for the Ignition's higher priced German-Made Cousins. Installation was a breeze with a quick solder. There are only 2 screw holes and you may need to drill small pilot holes, however; the 4 Ignition plate screw holes get totally covered. Again, this is a no-brainer of an upgrade to make a great-sounding bass sound even better!!
