SOLD - Danelectro 63 Long Scale Bass in Black

[benebass]

Hi - bought a Danelectro 63 Long Scale bass a couple of weeks ago for a project that's not worked out & I need some space in the house, so I thought I'd move it on. Styling's definitely a love/hate thing - it's a black semi hollow ply/masonite body that has the advantage of being VERY light (great if you have a bad back) & a 24-fret neck with a very slight taper (like a Rick). It's passive, with a couple of lipstick pickups & Vol/Tone/3 way switch.

I've been pretty surprised by this thing to be honest - it's basic, but with a bit of amp tweaking can go from '60s boom to Lemmy-style chordal madness. Some Dano stuff can be a bit rough straight out of the box, but I had this one set up & strung with D'Addario Chrome flats (40-100) so it's pretty comfy to play. I've only used it in the house since it arrived, so condition is pretty much as new & I'll throw in a Ritter gig bag too. The whole thing cost me just under £250 with strings/set up etc., so I was thinking somewhere around £140 would be a decent deal.

Camera's out of action at the mo, so here's a stock pic: -
