Doing Things Wrong

7-String Semi-Fretless Bass

Davie504

Finally, a seven-string I can see the point of. This makes more sense than a double-neck. This guy has a lot of very entertaining videos and he's a hell of a player.

Unfortunately, this instrument was discontinued in 2019. Here are some pictures I had saved:


This body style was originally reissued in a range of models - guitar, bass ( long and short scale ) and baritone. I only have the guitar. These were part of Danelectro's Chinese production, and while not bad, are not as nice as the prior or later Korean models. A second reissue in 2015 restored the gloss sparkly finish of the vintage original. None of the reissues use the original headstock shape, though.
