Burns® London acquired the original Shadows bass in 2005 which inspired us to re-release this great guitar as a special limited edition.
Close research revealed this bass was quite different to the production model of 1964.
The electrics are custom wired to give a wider range of pickup selections. As well as various cosmetic changes including headstock size, pickup spacing and selector switch angle.
