1967 Silvertone-branded Danelectro 1443 bass in red-black burst

This 1967
Silvertone-branded Danelectro 1443 bass in red-black burst was made by the original Danelectro company in Neptune New Jersey in what would have been their final couple of years. Having moved away from guitars made as cheaply as possible (bodies were a crude pine frame sandwiched beteen two sheets of masonite), this dual liptsick pickup long-scale (34") bass is a proper solidbody instrument, a contender perhaps against the Fender Precision. The Silvertone brand (a name with which Danelectro is almost synonymous) on this bass means that it would have been sold through Sears, Roebuck and Company stores.
The example seen here is in excellent condition for its age and is currently listed on eBay with a starting price of $399.99 and a not unreasonable Buy It Now price of $779.99.

guitarz.blogspot.com: Again, I don't have too much information on this 1969 Silvertone guitar. Despite having seen better days it's still quite a beauty. The pickup covers have been removed; the seller says they were taken off because they were...

1967 Silvertone Bass In Western Ky For $200
I think this is a Danelectro / Coral bass - too bad it's been repainted but with a White base coat you can always paint it another color that you like (Sea Foam Green comes to mind) - I listed one of these a few months back - apparently these...
