Paul S Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 If only this were a shorty I'd have bought it not posted about it! Solid body with DiMarzio pickup, 2 octave neck, proper bridge, brass nut all sorts of other nice things. Bit scruffy but I bet it is a monster. £290! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135312739262 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 I'm actually really tempted with this 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 You never see these. One of the rare MIJ Hondos too - most were Korean. Good price for a rare bass too. If it was a P/J or J/J I'd be tempted (although neither actually existed!) but I have too many single P basses I barely play as it is. So one of you lot will have to do the right thing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 It’s on my watch list with very little intention…but the initial “OOOOH” was big 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmywinks Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Is that solid mahogany? Will weight about as much as 26 real Danelectros if so! Cool thing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 I'm assuming that's a DiMarzio Model P pickup as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I increase the offer or walk away 🤪 I was also tempted to put an offer in, but I'll assume my offer would be lower than yours (as I really don't need another bass) so yours being declined has relived me too. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Thing is I’ve always wanted a danelectro longhorn long scale. Now I’ve put an offer in it’s hard to not keep going 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 If I was actually after a longscale Longhorn then I think the asking price is a very fair price for this. If an offer of £250 got it then I'd snap it up, if I was really looking for one. Am I helping? No? 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldslapper Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Did a bit of research and reviews on this model. All had good right ups. That Dimarzio with the switching seems to be the star billing. But I always thought that the Longhorn design is cool as flock but I don’t get on with short scale necks. I’m a bit worried about the strap pin placement as I tend to like the horn strap pin on the 12th fret, like Ps and J style. But I’ll get over it, coz I’m shallow. 🤣 I’ll do a review. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 I’m aware it’s a punt, and it’s covered in scratches and dings. No idea if the truss rod works and what condition structurally the neck is in. But from images it doesn’t look like anything I can’t sort. 🙏🤞 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
