The Danelectro 58 Longhorn Bass F-Hole Hot Black is a faithful reissue of the iconic short-scale bass first introduced in 1958, celebrated for its unmistakable retro design and authentic vintgae vibe. To deliver its signature low-end thump, Danelectro sticks to tradition woth its classic Masonite body construction and a lipstick pickup that offers a surprisingly powerful output. With a short 29.75" scale length and a slim neck profile, the '58 Longhorn provides exceptionally smooth playability – even in the upper registers. True to its roots, the bass also features vintage-style hardware, inlcuding compact guitar-style tuners and a hardtail bridge with Pau Ferro saddle inlays, rounding out the instrument's period-correct charm and performance.

Beneath its classic high-gloss black finish, the '58 Longhorn Bass features the signature Danelectro construction that plays a key role in shaping its distincitve vintage tone. Alongside its short 29.75" (756 mm) scale length, the bass sports a lightweight semi-hollow Masonite body, delivering resonant low-end character with classic flair. The uniquely sculpted double cutaways and a slim C-profile maple neck with a bolt-on four screw design ensure easy access all the way up to the 24th fret of the smootth Pau Ferro fretboard – making high-register playing just as comfortable as the low.

Two classic lipstick pickups – a signature feature of the Danelectro legacy – deliver the distinctive electric tone of the '58 Longhorn Bass Black. When played through a bass amp, the instrument produces a warm, full-bodied sound with a rich low-end foundation and surprisingly clear, articulate highs, all while responding sensitively to dynamic playing styles. Tone shaping is handled via Danelectro's iconic stacked control knobs for each pickup: the lower disc controls volume, while the upper white pointer adjusts the treble response. allowing players to fine-tune their sound with ease.

Last but not least, Danelectro equips the '58 Longhorn Bass Black with classic vintage style hardware. A traditional hardtail bridge with pau ferro string saddle supports the bass's bold tonal character and sustain. At the headstock, a steel saddle on the distinctive narrow "Coke Bottle" headstock ensures smooth string alignment, leading into vintage-style tuners with small winged buttons for stable and precise tuning.
