One of the more idiosyncratic basses that I've owned. This 1962 instrument screams both "space-age" and "vintage" simultaneously, even retaining its oddball status as the years have passed. I believe they were originally sold through the the Montgomery Ward catalogue, just as Silvertone was sold through Sears Roebuck. Its extreme short scale (30") may feel quite strange to modern players, yet its cache of cool is nearly infinite.
