The neck is thick but comfortable, with a 30\" scale. The strangest feature is the large white plastic off-center pickguard, which certainly gives the bass an unmistakeable look! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe H-22 was the model used extensively by both Muff Winwood in the Spencer Davis Group and Ronnie Lane of the Small Faces, 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 1 7\/8 in. (4.8 cm.) deep. Scale length is 30 in. (762 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExcellent completely original condition, including original flatwound small-ballend strings. Some minor finish wear, most noticeably to the back, but overall very nice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginal chipboard case somewhat beat up but still functional.","brand":"Harmony","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853176426636,"sku":"3058","price":800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_6e792bd1-2597-408a-a6d5-bf8d47285113.jpg?v=1774331692","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/harmony-h-22-electric-bass-guitar-1965-3058","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
