Cowabunga. Surf’s up!! For sale only. Time warp bass here. The Silvertone (Danelectro) 1443 Hornet is a full-scale, two-pickup bass guitar that was made in the USA from 1966-1968. Solid body, twin lipstick pickups, sweet 22-fret rosewood fretboard. Redburst with 4-ply tort guard. Beefy original tuners. This one has a moderate number of beauty marks. Has original thumb rest, knobs and bridge cover. Electronics work, pots turn and switch toggles without static after some Lectricare spray. Frets have minimal wear. Action is very playable. You could adjust it further with the built-in tilt mechanism and rosewood bridge if so inclined. The strings might be original! I did not mess with them because intonation is perfect. The OHSC has a nice red interior, some corner wear, and one divot as shown in pics. Latches, hinges and handle are fully functional. I have not seen a nicer 1443 than this one. Laudable condition with only moderate mojo after more than half a century. Price is [$995] [$895] [$850] [$800] [$750] $700 plus actual shipping!! CONUS only. No TRADES. Downsizing. Thanks for looking!
