Danelectro 58 Longhorn Bass Red Hot Electric Bass Guitar

General

First designed in 1958, the Danelectro 58 Longhorn is still a bass with a big difference. This faithful reissue of an underground legend still bears the same light playing feel of a short scale-length, the same iconic tulip-style shaping, and the unmistakable sound of a masonite body teamed up with a pair of lipstick pickups.

The Danelectro 58 Longhorn Bass

Those single-coil lipstick pickups are renowned for their high-output sound which is exactly why this bass is so versatile and able to punch through any mix. Meanwhile, the maple neck has been finished with a pau perro fretboard and has a stable and adjustable truss rod with headstock access.

The Handsome Beast

The long, elegant horns are really what burn the image of this bass into the brain, but they also come with a welcome bonus because those deep cutaways are what grant comfortable access to every one of the 24 frets. The timeless style is carried through to the electronics section, where the pots have been stacked retro-style, setting you up with a volume and tone pot per pickup.
