The seller claims that this is a custom/prototype put together back when Danelectro was still alive and kickin’. Whether or not that’s true, I don’t know. Here’s his description:

This is a super rare ’60s Danelectro Coral prototype Vincent Bell style 60s prototype bass guitar. I think that this was an experiment. Basically the folks at Dano took a guitar body and put a Wasp bass neck on it. Please see the last pic, it’s of a prototype sitar with the same type of plastic lable.

I’ve used it to play gigs, and it’s a real attention grabber. I always get looks and comments from other musicians.
It’s so big that I’ve named it “The Boat”.

Here is some history from its previous owner…

…in 1986 Chris Lukasik (now deceased) and I went to Cecil Gullickson’s(now deceased) warehouse in Orlando, Florida and found two of these (I sold the other to the bass player for EmmyLou Harris). Cecil had bought a lot of the defunct Dano inventory and moved it to Orlando to market his then very novel guitar synthesizer(actually used by Steve Miller on an early album). His synth did not become successful as did later ones marketed by Roland, etc. and we bought his inventory. I kept this all those years, sold all the rest. I don’t think there were tuners on it in 1986. I have forgotten the history of the tuners, and one of the pickups I think went dead over the years and chris replaced it, can not remember which one.

The bass makes use of a Coral neck married to an archtop acoustic guitar body with two Dano single-coils mounted in the soundhole. I bet this thing sounds awesome. On to the pics:
