Reissued by Danelectro and an essential for enthusiasts, the Wild Thing body shape started life as a prototype called the 'Swept Wing'. Featuring the iconic Lipstick pickups and hardboard body first thrown together by Nathan Daniel in 1947, along with a groovy and eye-catchingly unusual twist of design.

View Full Description

With vintage style and a sleek black gloss finish, the Danelectro Wild Thing Bass reissue remains as true to tone as ever with a double cutaway, horned bodyshape, 'coke bottle' headstock and satin nickel hardware. Adding to the Danelectro retro, left-field vibe are the Wild Thing's enclosed 'Kluson'-style tuners.

The twin alnico-powered Lipstick case pickups have warmer spec windings which offer sweeter tones and slightly hotter output. Pearloid dot inlays on the rosewood fingerboard compliment the hardware and dual concentrics, volume, tone and 3-way selector controls.

Press Reviews

"Wild Thing, we think we love you... Obviously such a radical design isn't going to appeal to everyone - one man's cool is another man's kitsch - but if you like it, and we do, you'll love it. If you're looking for a great-sounding bass for a reasonably small outlay and want to stand out from the crowd, then you really should check out the Dano."
