Hallmark II Sheena model

[Bob Shade]

Hello again.............. we have no immediate plans for a bass at this time. We do have the Swept-Wing basses still in stock and I would reccomend one for any player who wants a stylish Mosrite feeling and playing instrument with great tone and appointments.

To address another question I do not know if an aftermarket bridge would fit on these bridge pins. Our guitars have a tune o matic bridge already I am not sure why you would want to change it. It may work with your tremolo, if not this is a bolt on neck, so you could put anything on it when you get right down to it.

Swept-Regards, Bob

Thanks Bob, I'd love to try a Swept Wing bass. As for the Tremolo, I'm the type of guy who uses a Stetsbar on his Telecaster. It turns out that, Although it does use a Tune O Matic style bridge (I'm referring to the part that has the saddles) It is custom made so a regular Tune O Matic wouldn't fit. Do you think this Stop Tail model would work on a II model with a bit of modification for the screw holes?

Yes I do believe it would. Don't know why it would not. Bob

Hey Bob, Just out of curiosity do you have any plans for a Hallmark 60 Custom Bass? I know I'd like one, Especially with a narrow neck similar to the original Mosrite Mark X. I have a Squier P Bass but the neck is awfully big and I think I could play better with a slimmer neck.

I second the motion for a 60 Custom bass!

I would also love to see a 60 Custom bass at some point in the near future. I love the neck on the Swept-Wing bass, but just never got comfortable with the body.

The bass player for the Brian Setzer Orchestra who goes by the name of SPAZZ just used a Hallmark Swept-Wing vintage series bass on the new LP! He called me a couple of weeks ago and exclaimed, it sounded great, feels great and the producer loved the tone and vibe. The guitar is very well balanced, you can sit with it on your knee and it does not slip like you would think too. I LOVE it especially with the flatwounds.

If you like a futuristic Mosrite vibe, this IS the bass for you!

Back on the main subject, I think the Sheena looks spot on like Johnny's original. Just check this out.

What a great clip and what a great guitar sound.
The first time I put the needle on the Ramones first album and the the opening bars of Blitzkreig Bop came blaring out was a life-changing moment for me let me tell ya.
I still love it.
Bill.

A minor note: Johnny had the tailpiece in front of the brassplate screws, not in between. (really close to the bridge)

The first time I heard/saw the Ramones was on Don Kirshners Rock Concert. I was very confused at first, but I got it, they were in their prime back then. Saw them live 22 times after that and here I am.

Thank you for the clip! That is my favorite Ramones footage. I think it says it all. Sheena is designed to look and sound like this. We have made some very minor improvements over the vintage originals to boot as you will notice in the images. These will be available very soon. Thanks for the interest!
