Danelectro Red Hot Longhorn Bass £400 Newcastle Upon Tyne

[benebass]

Bit of a feeler this one - I'm still a bit undecided on selling it, but need to make way for something incoming. This is the new version of the Longhorn which adds binding, an F Hole & souped up pickups to the mix. Looks / plays / sounds great & is really light! I bought it new & since I had it I did this: -

 

- Replaced stock tuners with Gotoh SD90s

- Swapped out the strap buttons for Gotoh Contemporary ones, which makes it feel a lot more stable on a strap

- Strung with Ernie Ball flats. They are the 'Group 2' 45-105 set

- Took the gloss neck finish back to matte & rolled the fingerboard edges. There's a slight bit of finish wear on the E string side of the neck, but it's just cosmetic. Overall it makes it feel a lot more comfortable than it did out of the box

 

A cash / collection deal from Newcastle would be preferred, but I do have the box so postage is an option on this one...

I think you're exaggerating... by about 1/4"!

Ha! Yeah - they are 29.75" scale. Here's the closest thing I've found to an official spec on the UK distributor's site - https://www.jhs.co.uk/products/danelectro-longhorn-bass-red-hot
