Dana Off Set Bass This is a one of a kind hand made Dana Off Set Bass that I had made back in 1992-1993 Dana is best known for his work with Alvarez and his crazy Scoop guitar. I had this made with 2 interchangeable necks and finished in purple. Body is super light - not sure of the wood - the necks are both hard rock maple with rosewood on the fretted and something exotic on the fretless - I honestly can't remember….but its rock hard as there are minimal sings of wear. I always have used half wounds on all my fretlesses.. The original Dana electronics/pickups were great live but were a little noisy for studio work so I replaced them with a pair of EMGS I will include the original Dana electronics - pickups are gone…. 21 Fret neck specd to a jazz/guild pilot bass Thats what this bass reminds me of - a guild pilot on testosterone. It is SUPER ergonomic and both necks are stellar. The fretless currently uses a shim to compensate for the ability to switch - Dana's doing… Dunlop strap locks Again, this bass has seen over 1k of gigs…it is chipped and scratched but no damage effect playability or tone. I paid 2K for this in 93 (what was I thinking….i could have had a sadowsky then….if i had known who he was….) Anyway - this is not getting played and is a really cool ax so it needs to be out there. Blue book on a DANA ALVAREZ made in Korea is $300 to $750 This is a worn hand made boutique bass with 2 necks. $750 plus shipping to CONUS only Paypal only or cash (19390) No case but will include a double gig bag for $50 for the first buyer of my for sale basses.

These are hands down the most balanced bass you will ever play. I'm amazed that more companies haven't gravitated towards this design. |
