Hagström Kent 1-B Bass Red 1966

The 1966 Hagström Kent 1-B (or Hagstrom I) in red is a Swedish-made, short-scale 4-string bass known for its thin, fast neck, unique acrylic-topped body with vinyl-covered back, and distinctive multi-switch electronics. Often used in 1960s "garage bands," these guitars feature two single-coil pickups, a master volume, and "mute" and "tone" switches, producing a unique, punchy tone

* Pictures show vinyl damage. Volume knob is missing.
