Overview

The look and sound of a vintage bass with a short scale neck.

The Danelectro '56 Single-Cutaway Electric Bass Guitar captures the essence and vibe of a vintage instrument. The '56 bass has the distinctive style and tone that many enthusiasts seek, while enjoying the advantages and stability of its modern construction and easy-to-play neck.

Danelectro has fitted the '56 Single-Cutaway Bass with a hollow plywood body and solid center core, making it light and resonant.

The 30" maple neck with rosewood fingerboard has 24 frets and is fully adjustable thanks to its double-acting truss rod. It's the perfect length for young players or guitarists who want to switch over.

2 Danelectro lipstick pickups offer a surprising variety and quality of tone via 2 independent volume controls and 1 master tone.

Other features include "Kluson" style tuners, clear plastic pickguard, and traditional rosewood saddle.
