General
This black-cloaked Danelectro 56 Single Cut short-scale bass is an upgraded reissue of the original '56 single-cut model and comes loaded with souped up Lipstick pickups and a traditional rosewood bridge. The masonite body with stunning tape binding is the same as the one on the archetypical bass and together with the pickups, faithfully shapes that rounded, characteristically rich sound we've come to expect from Danelectro's versatile bass guitars.
The Danelectro 56 Single Cut with Dolphin Headstock
This '56 Single Cut is without doubt of one the most unique models when it comes to sound character and this can be made entirely your own through a tone pot and two individual volume controls for the Lipsticks. The short-scale neck is a maple one and is fitted with a rosewood fretboard with 24 frets while the string length measures 762 mm from bridge to nut and, to complete this special bass, Danelectro have blessed it with a Dolpin headstock with Kluson-style machine heads.

De basgitaar heeft een unieke uitstraling. Typisch Danelectro. Erg stijlvol met zwarte lak en wit vinyl tape om de body. Aan de lipstick pickups kan visueel gezien eigenlijk ook niets tippen.
De gitaar is niet erg zwaar, maar voelt toch degelijk genoeg aan. De hals loopt niet heel erg nauw toe bij de hals, maar ligt toch erg goed in de hand. Oudere Danelectro modellen hebben een brug met hout er in. Daar kan de intonatie per snaar niet goed afgesteld worden. Deze '56 heeft een modernere volledig metalen brug; en pluspunt. De stemmechanieken zijn nogal compact voor een basgitaar (net als de dolphin headstock), maar dat geeft geen problemen. Stemmen en gestemd blijven gaat naar behoren.
Danelectro heeft het in zijn reclameuitingen altijd over de unieke tone (own the tone, tone heaven en ga zo maar door). Dit legt de lat op dat gebied erg hoog. De '56 bass valt desondanks niet tegen. De klank is echt uniek! Ik durf het zelfs vintage te noemen. Zelfs mijn Rickenbacker 4003 bass heeft niet zo'n speciale twang in zijn toon. Heerlijk. Ik speel doorgaans via een stack met Hartke XL speakers (met alu conussen) en volgens sommigen klinken die vaak te hard en kil, maar de Danelectro laat zich nergens door afschrikken: Dano toon is Dano toon.
Al met al ben ik zeer enthousiast over over deze bas. Hij speelt heerlijk en klinkt goed. Ongelooflijk voor deze prijs. Voor velen kan dit absoluut de juiste bas zijn. Een aanrader!
