The Danelectro 58 Longhorn Bass F-Hole Red Hot is a faithful recreation of the shortscale bass first introduced in 1958, renowned for its distinctive look and vintage feel. To deliver its signature low-end tone, Danelectro uses classic Masonite construction and Lipstick pickups, which provide surprisingly strong output for the 58 Longhorn Bass. With a short 29.75" scale length and a slim neck profile, the bass offers butter-smooth playability up to the highest frets. Authentic vintage-style hardware, including small guitar tuners and a hardtail bridge with Pau Ferro inlays, completes this faithful reissue.

Beneath the classic black high-gloss finish, the 58 Longhorn Bass conceals traditional Danelectro construction, which defines its unique tonal character. The semi-hollow Masonite body, distinctive cutaways, and maple neck with a slim C-profile and four-bolt attachment allow effortless playability across the full 24-fret Pau Ferro fingerboard, even in the highest positions.

The electric sound of the 58 Longhorn Bass Red Hot comes from 2 Lipstick pickups, a hallmark feature of Danelectro instruments. On the amplifier, the bass delivers a rich low-end foundation with clear, transparent highs, responding dynamically to the player’s touch. Tone shaping is handled via the classic stacked controls for each pickup, where the lower knob sets the volume and the upper white pointer adjusts treble content.

Danelectro completes the 58 Longhorn Bass Red Hot with traditional hardware. The hardtail bridge with Pau Ferro string rest supports the bass’s distinctive sound, while the steel saddle on the narrow "Coke Bottle" headstock guides the strings to vintage-style tuners with small wings, ensuring precise and stable tuning.
