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.

Key Details for 1966 Models:
  • Body & Finish: A wood filler body (often plywood) with a clear, back-painted red acrylic top and vinyl backing.
  • Electronics: Two single-coil pickups controlled by a series of push-button switches (often labeled 'L', 'H', 'Tone', 'Mute').
  • Neck: Known for being exceptionally thin with a rosewood fretboard and often featuring a complex metal-sheathed truss rod.
  • Hardware: Often includes a custom metal rail bridge with adjustable height and a "Tremar" system, though bridge styles can vary slightly.
  • Production: Made in Sweden, these were considered high-quality but affordable
