Neck-through basses

[Marc PG]

Appart from the Rickenbacker, are there any basses with a neck-through construction?

Is the Danelectro '58 Longhorn Bass one of these? (maybe it has a bolt-on neck, I don't know).

Most of the alembic models are neck through.

There are many. Gibson’s first was the Thunderbird, I believe in 1963.
Peavey, Ibanez, Dean, Schecter and many others make at least one in their line up.

I’m not sure about Fender thoungh, but I’m sure someone on TB would know.

Isn't that a set neck?

Danelectro necks are bolt-on.

jeez, there’s been such a trend of folks with 10-15 year old accounts asking questions like this this year that I didn’t even check!

@Marc PG welcome!

It's a bolt-on (pic below) but don't let that be a deterrent if you're gassing for one!

Epiphone TBird vintage pro is neck through.
Carvin/Keisel has neck through models.
Jackson, Warwick also have neck through models as does Peavey.

Sure there are others

^^^ That is without a doubt the highest action I've seen on a bass guitar in my life. My Lord.

Nope. Thundergun is neck through.

Ya, it looks high. The action on my 09 Longhorn is super low, though, so there is hope for those who don't want to work that hard.

You know what, now that you mention it...

Dissagree. Looking at their website, the bass appears to have a set neck. The spec's do not specify, except to say that it's a five piece neck. That leads me to believe it's a set neck.
