Danelectro Longhorn FURTHER REDUCTION TO £225 £260 Rotherham

[martthebass]

The second of two short scales that I’ve put up for sale to do some much needed consolidation. I’ve had this Longhorn a few months and it’s served as back up to my Mustang on gigs but has (fortunately or unfortunately depended it on which way you look at it) never been used....so it’s still in minty fresh condition.

Unfortunately no bag for this one so it’s collection or close meet up only.

Thanks for looking 🙂

Nearly forgot, it’s set up with nice fairly fresh flats (D Addarios I believe)

Ditto, gotta love cockers lol

Think I’ll hang on to this one for a bit, the wife has stopped whinging about the number of basses in the house.

Thread tidy

Well I’ve hung on but I’m finding the 2 Mustangs do the job so this is just gathering dust at the moment and I hate to see basses being ignored. I’m still not in a great hurry to sell but I’ll reduce down to £250 collected to incentivise.

Which reissue is the Dano, 90s or 00s?

[martthebass]

Y’know I’m not entirely sure. However, it is mint so I suspect it’s younger rather than older - if you know of a way to check let me know and I’ll get back to you.

My limited knowledge of Dano's are that the 00s reissue have better (i.e hotter) pickups than the earlier 90s, however I don't know how to date them.

Sorry can’t help, I can’t find any serial number that could assist. The pups are quite hot for a passive (using my other passive basses as a reference) but I can’t comment beyond that I’m afraid.

This is the 00s version - I have a blueburst 90s one.

A couple of differences to tell these apart is that you have to remove the neck to adjust the  truss rod on the 90s version so it doesn't have a truss rod cover on the headstock. Also the stacked knobs are round on the 90s version without the pointy bit.

Think this was referred to as the “dead on 58” longhorn by Danelectro.

Thanks for this. I now know which version the one I’ve recently bought on a whim is!

[martthebass]

£225, a bargain indeed........as low as it gets before withdrawing no matter what she who must be obeyed says!

[guzzibass]

I wish I could justify buying this...

very Tom Petty/Wilburys😀

I suspect if you were able to post this would have gone weeks ago (eg, to me!), absolute bargain

If I’d had a decent case I would’ve posted but alas its been purely a house bass. 

[martthebass]

I’ll give this one last bump before letting it drift. A great opportunity to pick up a pretty minty Longhorn. Prepared to do a meet up within reason given that this one isn’t a poster.
