Description: Jerry Jones retired and closed his shop in early 2011, and the best Danelectro style guitars and basses ever built are no longer in production. I've played a lot of old Danelectros for years, and love the tone, but the playability has always been an issue. Jerry's instruments not only play great, but also sound just like a vintage Dano. I can't say either of the other Danelectro reissues that have come out over the years. In the 80's, I played a Dano doubleneck for several years, and this one is nice and light, but plays great and sounds amazing. Everything is in perfect working condition. There are a couple tiny nicks in the paint. This one has the original Danelectro "popsicle stick" bridges, which are vital to getting the great Dano tone. Later models had metal adjustable bridges that don't sound right, in my opinion. The guitar is a regular 6 string, with 3 pickups, and a 5 position switch. The bass is a Bass 6. This is not a baritone. From Jerry's website: "In the 50s and 60s the six string bass was used in Nashville recordings to double the acoustic bass lines. This technique, referred to as tic-tac bass, produced bass lines with a distinctive click and presence that was so prevalent in sound recordings of that era. These instruments have since found their way into all styles of modern music. Normally played with a thin pick and tuned E~to~E one octave below standard guitar. A great addition to any bass or guitar player's arsenal." You can chord this out for beefier rhythm parts, or go for an extra meaty lead lick. One of the most versatile instruments you'll ever play. The Bass6 has two pickups and a 3 position switch. There is also a 3 position switch to use for switching between necks, or use both at the same time. It comes with the original hard case, and the instrument has new strings on both necks.
