While the "cresting wave" body certainly stands out on stage, it's the sustain from the neck-through construction and biting attack from the unique pickups that have made the 4001 a favorite of such diverse artists as Chris Squire, Geddy Lee, and Lemmy. We've modeled both the classic 60's version (Paul McCartney's "other sound"), with the "horseshoe" pickup and flatwounds, and the hardrockin' 70's version, with its brighter bridge pickup and roundwounds. RED based on 1963 Rickenbacker 4001 with flatwound strings. 15 Rickenbacker is a registered trademark of Rickenbacker International Corporation.

HOLLOW GREEN based on 1966 Danelectro Longhorn Bass. By 1956, Nat Daniel had perfected his cost-effective construction techniques and quirky electronics that--surprisingly--resulted in great sounding and playing instruments. The 24 fret Longhorn was launched in 1959, and was played by such luminaries as Carol Kaye and Jack Bruce. RED based on 1963 Höfner Model 500/1 with flatwound strings. In 1956 Walter Höfner added electronics and frets to a delicate violin-shaped body and created one of the most recognizable, if unusual, electric instruments of all time. Despite its fragility, Sir Paul loved the light weight and slim neck and continues to use it to this day. Danelectro is a registered trademark of Evets Corporation.

In 1958 Gibson decided that adding shortscale bass necks and really big pickups to guitar bodies would create a viable alternative to the instruments offered by their upstart competitors in California. Players appreciated the easy playability, light weight, and supremely fat--though at times indistinct-- tone. Check out Glenn Cornick's nearly uprightsounding tone on classic Jethro Tull releases for the definitive EB-2 sound. GREEN based on 1963 Gibson Thunderbird 4. The Gibson Thunderbird debuted in 1963 as the bass companion of the Firebird guitar and shared its sibling's turbulent history. Completely redesigned in 1965 and discontinued in 1969, it nevertheless gained such influential admirers as Pete Way of UFO and Overend Watts of Mott the Hoople. Growing demand for the Thunderbird's unique appearance and warm-yet-aggressive tone prompted several limited edition reissues and, in 1987, the reintroduction of the Thunderbird as a regular model. 17 Gibson is a registered trademark of Gibson Guitar Corp.
