Burns 1964 The Shadows Bass 'The Legend' White 2011
In 2011, Burns celebrated the legendary sound of The Shadows with a limited reissue of just 500 pieces, and this is number 298 in that exclusive series! This "The Legend" bass pays tribute to the instrument played by bassist John Rostill and brings back the iconic sound with which The Shadows made British pop history.
Burns is a British guitar brand with a rich history dating back to the 1960s, when the brand made waves with innovative designs and a distinctive sound. The Shadows, one of the most influential British bands of that period, played a crucial role in the popularity of Burns instruments. Bassist John Rostill, who joined The Shadows in 1963, played a Burns bass that became iconic for the band's sound. With its signature triple-coil configuration, the typical Burns aesthetic, and details like the zero fret, this 2011 reissue brings a piece of British rock 'n' roll history back to life.
The bass is equipped with three Rez-o-Matik single-coil pickups, which, together with the five-way switch, offer a wide range of tonal possibilities. The alder body provides a balanced tone with good resonance, while the maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard guarantees comfortable playability. With its white finish, tortoiseshell pickguard, and authentic details like the pearloid dot inlays, this bass exudes the vintage charm of the original '60s models, but with the reliability and playability you expect from a modern instrument.
The bass is in near-mint condition with only minimal playwear and comes in a hardshell case.
