Price includes uk mainland postage. A great little bass in good condition other than a dint in the headstock. 2.8kgs. All working perfectly. Will come with rounds - can include a set of labella dano flats for an additional £25. Colour is ‘copperburst’. No trades thanks.

I have a China made version of this bass, and it's absolutely awesome. Super lightweight - yet the sound is immense.

 

Did some studio recording with mine just the other day, and the sound engineer was mightily impressed with the tone. 

 

Easy on the shoulders for those long gigs, great sound, slim easy neck, and with a very different look. Someone needs to buy this bass now! 😀

Fun fact but I did a session on one of these around 1999/2000 with Paul Weller's old bass player producing and I always swore it was one of the best bass sounds I ever had. The old 90s Danelectro basses are really decent. GLWTS.

This completely changed my views on what it is that makes a bass great. These were originally cheap by design, Nathan Daniel cut every corner he could dream of to keep the cost down. And yet was determined to create an instrument for students , and beginners that was playable. And he did just that. 
Longhorns weigh next to nothing , but don’t think the lack of weight makes them flimsy , they’re tough as nails. They sound great , in good hands can be simply amazing. And they’re really fun to play. 
Dano aficionados say the early reissues from the Shinko Factory in Korea are the best of the lot. With fresh rounds they can have that zing you might get with a baritone guitar or a Bass VI , with flats or older rounds they are simply great thump machines.
