The very lightweight flat-topped fully hollow body features one excellent sounding DeArmond pickup. The neck is thick but comfortable, with a 30\" scale. The most distinctive 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 in the mid-1960's by both Muff Winwood in the Spencer Davis Group and Ronnie Lane of the Small Faces, and its agressively thumpy tone can be clearly heard in their recordings. This one is a bit of a \"road warrior,\" not all original but a good-sounding and playing bass. The H-22 has become a much sought-after item, with new generations of players discovering its quirky charm and excellent sonic qualities.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 44 1\/2 in. (113 cm.), 15 5\/8 in. (39.7 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.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWell-used. A good player but with a very noticeable tuner substitution; large Fender-Kluson style keys (gold plated!) having been added in place of the original small-shaft strip tuners. Not the most artful alteration but functional! The bridge is newer and the pickguard is a correct style modern replacement. Original pickup and wiring; \"klunk\" switch is wired as a tone control bypass. All original finish with general small dings, chips, and wear. Not the cleanest, but a good solid gigging example of this rather sought-after bass. Very Good + Condition.","brand":"Harmony","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853274632332,"sku":"4251","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_bd9f34ee-0269-42c7-a1f6-db6764d2806a.jpg?v=1774332731","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/harmony-h-22-electric-bass-guitar-1967-4251","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
