Danelectro Longhorn, tatty, CHEAP £250 £250 Benfleet, Essex

[Paul S]

Up for sale my Danelectro Longhorn.  Short scale ,weighs a ridiculous 2.6kg.  Black and scruffy but cheap, cream binding is lifing in places, chips out of the headstock.  The old combo knobs and wooden bridge saddle.  Fitted with TI Flats (and that was interesting).  Scruffy but cheap.  Chinese or Korean?  No idea but it is cheap.  And scruffy.  Love these or hate them, I love them - this is my third but I have no use for it now.  The range of tones from those lipstick pups is quite surprising - dial in both together and it sounds to me like a Jazz bass.  Except 2kg lighter, of course.

 

£250, no trades, collection only from Benfleet in Essex

Again Paul, you are selling a bass I’d love, but don’t need / can afford / can collect etc etc. 

 

Cracking basses these , and for this price a bargain too I reckon.

Good luck with your sale mate.

I believe so, now you mention it!  Do those bubbly bindings look familiar?  I know I bought it cheap so am passing that on.

Now you mention it, those bindings...I checked an old photo, mine was all black. Must have sold you one of your earlier ones!

I'd echo @casapete's comments - these are great basses!

And I just had a trawl through my eBay history and found it on there.  They come and go so quickly these days!
