Danelectro Shorthorn Bass (1964) • PHOTO • SOLD

1964 Danelectro Shorthorn Bass. Copper metallic finish. Short scale. Plays great and sounds very cool. We don't see these around very often. Non-original hardshell case.

Fender Precision Bass, Top Shelf Custom Creation • PHOTO • $929

We built this one starting with a solid alder body finished in a lightly distressed and aged nitrocellulose olympic white, and used a late 80's Fender Japanese P-Bass neck with a matching headstock and repro vintage decal. We basically wanted it to look like a mid 60's P-Bass custom ordered with a maple neck. The pickups are Seymour Duncan Hot P-Bass wired with US electronics. It's an excellent playing and sounding bass without paying some crazy custom shop price. Comes with a hardshell case.
