Andytre Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 A while ago i was gassing for Danelectro DC59 bass, as i love the danelectro style, but due to them being rare as toothed rocking hens droppings, i started looking at the Hodad bass reissue, but due to them also being quite rare and a bit too expensive for me at £300-£500 decided against it and resolved my GAS issues by throwing my money all over the Thomann deko page! as time passed i forgot how much i wanted one and pushed them out of my mind until today when i was having one of daily eBay scouts and came across a Ex-demo Hodad bass in black (if it was blue it would have been perfect but you cant have everything) for what i think is a good price at £175 buy it now, so i snapped it up, hopefully it will arrive Thursday and i can have a muck about with it at practice! its always nice when something randomly pops up! now i can try and emulate some Fat Mike. and it should hopefully keep me entertained till i can finally get hold of a DC59! obligatory picture also included and will take more when it arrives!

kodiakblair Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Had similar GAS myself Andy. Fat Mike has a lot to answer for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I had a three pickup version of the Hodad a while back. Super light and sounded pretty good too. Dunno why I got rid to be honest. I know the guy who has it, so it isn't far away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I really want one of these. That three pickup one is a thing of glory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
