TPTroll Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I have the usual suspects for day-to-day playing, but I'm looking for something a bit different, without breaking the bank. I've been trying to find a Danelectro DC or Hodad bass as I've always drooled over them, but to no avail. I want something that's relatively cheap (sub £200/£250 second hand) that has a distinctive look and sound, something that you don't really upgrade from. I've also I've also been looking at Burns Marquee basses and Italia basses. I love the retro look and would be grateful for any tips or comments on anything of this ilk. Any positive or negative experiences with any of these basses? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul h Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) How about something like this? I Know nothing about it apart from of course it's a Mosrite copy.

[/quote] Hi Thanks, ive seen those (and the Eastwood ones that look very similar with the P-90s) and although they do look great and certainly on the list, I'm trying to see what other pickup sounds I can get as have the jazz set up covered. Thanks though, good suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyBiskit Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The Burns bison(avatar pic)is my current gigging bass,you can get lots great sounds with the 4 way selector switch and the 2 way,they are pretty heavy tho' not great for slap,narrow neck,long scale-you need the drummer to tune your G string a real eye catcher in white.
