jimjazzer Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) :SOLD: 1960 Silvertone 1444 dolphin nose Bass All original Single-coil lipstick pickup, 30” short scale neck, A thick Brazilian rosewood 24 fret fingerboard, Semi-hollow Masonite body, Single 4 post Danelectro "Skate Key" Tuning Machines. These are the ones used on higher-end model guitars from 1958 to 1969. They are in good working order. It even has the headstock logo which is very rare! Retro heaven! Superb playing and sounding very usable bass made by Danelectro for Sears department stores USA. I bought this little beauty for a 1950/60`s theatre show that due to all the Covid shite has been abandoned. It`s far too good to sit around so here it is up for grabs to some lucky person. It`s in lovely condition for a 61yr old instrument. There is one small ingenious mod to the bridge that is easily removed, It just keeps the ball ends in nice and snug to the bridge as shown in pics. This really is a must have for anyone playing Rock and Roll or sixties retro music! Although saying that this little cracker can handle any genre (it even slaps). Comes with an old but non original hard case. Open to sensible offers........ Edited October 5, 2021 by jimjazzer 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
