Eastwood Adds Hurricane Bass to Lineup

by Kevin Johnson Friday, June 22nd, 2012

Eastwood continues their bass lineup expansion with the addition of the Hurricane Bass.

The Hurricane joins the recently announced Stormbird, offering a new 4-stringer based on the 1965 Magnatone Hurricane and bringing together elements of P and Tele basses.

The Hurricane’s body is basswood, finished in a classic Sunburst matched with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Building upon the old school factor, the company added a chrome bridge cover and a vintage-style finger/thumb mount.

The bass is fitted with a single coil pickup with volume and tone controls.

Eastwood’s Hurricane is available now for $429.
