Danelectro '56 Single Cut Bass - Black

The Danelectro ‘56 Single Cut Bass is one of those instruments that doesn’t try to be everything — it just does its thing really well. Short scale, light in the hands, and full of that unmistakable Dano thump.

The pair of lipstick pickups give you a warm, rounded low end that sits great in a mix. It’s the kind of tone you’ve heard on records for decades — simple, woody, and musical without a lot of fuss. If you like bass lines that support the song instead of showing off, this is your lane.

The short scale makes it comfortable for smaller players, guitarists doubling on bass, or anyone who wants an easy-playing instrument for long rehearsals and gigs. The lightweight body helps too — your shoulder will thank you. A smooth maple neck, pau ferro fingerboard, and adjustable bridge round out a no-nonsense setup that’s easy to dial in.

This isn’t a modern hi-fi bass. It’s a character bass. It’s for players who like vintage vibe, classic looks, and a sound that feels like a record the moment you plug in.

Plug it in, roll the tone where you like it, and go make music.
