The flat-topped body features a single excellent sounding DeArmond pickup with tone, volume and a large lever (the \"KLUNK\" switch) that bypasses the tone control. The neck is thick but comfortable, with a standard 30\" scale. The strangest feature is the large white plastic off-center \"batwing\" pickguard, which certainly gives the bass an distinctive look! The H-22 was used extensively by both Muff Winwood in the Spencer Davis Group and Ronnie Lane of the Small Faces in the mid-'60's, and its agressive tone can be clearly heard in their recordings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 44 1\/2 in. (113 cm.), 15 1\/2 in. (39.4 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 2 in. (5.1 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 30 in. (762 mm.). Width of nut is 1 3\/4 in. (44 mm.). A great playing example; appears all original except pickguard is a recent (very nicely done) and upper strap button is a period metal replacement for the plastic original. Generally Excellent Condition.","brand":"Harmony","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852968120460,"sku":"4843","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_309337e6-1c91-4bc8-b431-44a4ff8ff394.jpg?v=1774329054","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/harmony-h-22-electric-bass-guitar-1964-4843","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
