The Danelectro 58 Longhorn Bass Black is a faithful reissue of the iconic short-scalebass first introduced in 1958 – instantly recognizable for its unmistakable retro look and unmistakably vintage vibe. To recreate its signature low-end tone, Danelectro stays true to its roots with classic Masonite construction and a lipstick pickup that delivers surprisingly punchy output for such a compact instrument. With its short 29.75" scale length and slim neck profile, the '58 Longhorn offers an incredibly smooth playing experience, even in the upper registers. Authentic vintage-style hardware – including mini guitar-style tuners and a hardtail bridge with rosewood saddles – rounds out the retro aesthetic, making this bass a must-have for tone purists and vintage lovers alike.

Authentic construction

Beneath its sleek high-gloss finish, the '58 Longhorn Bass features Danelectro's signature construction, which plays a key role in shaping its unmistakable tone. In true vintage fashion, the poplar body frame is capped with Masonite plates, delivering that uniquely resonant, airy character the Longhorn is known for. The short 29.75" (756 mm) scale lengthenhances playability, while the deeply contoured cutaways and the slim C-shapedmaple neck – with four bolt-joint – offer effortlss access all the way to the highest frets of the 24-fret Pau Ferro fretboard.

Lipstick pickup and stacked pots

Two Lipstick pickups – long recognized as a signature element of Danelectro's design – deliver the unmistakable electric voice of the '58 Longhorn Bass Black. When plugged into a bass amp, this vintage-style instrument impresses with a warm, sonorous tone that blends a rich low-end foundation with surprisingly clear, articulate highs. It responds to every nuance of your playing with expressive, touch-sensitive dynamics. For tonal control, the Longhorn features Danelectro's signature "stacked knobs" for each pickup:the lower rings control the volume, while the white pointers adjust treble, giving you easy, intuitive access to a wide tonal palette.

Vintage-style hardware

To round things off, Danelectro equips the '58 Longhorn Bass Black with classic vintage-style hardware that perfectly complements its retro charm. The traditional bridge features a rosewood saddle that enhances the instrument's warm, resonant tone and reinforces its bold sonic character. Up top, a steel string guideon the narrow "Coke Bottle" headstockleads to authentic vintage-style tuners with small wing-style keys – delivering stable, precise tuning with a nostalgic look and feel.
