Danelectro twin-neck fretted & fretless £750 Harrow

[Happy Jack]

So here's a game I play roughly once a year. I list a whole bunch of basses for sale (really not wanting to sell any of them you understand) and once a couple have actually sold 😩 I let the remaining listings slide down below the radar. Until the next time.

 

I'm not selling because I'm desperate for the money, and if I was John Entwistle then I'd just keep the lot and have an ever-expanding collection, but the reality is that over half my basses get played very little, if at all. Common sense says that at least some of these lovely instruments should get back out in circulation.

 

I have no interest at all in trades. Replacing a bass that doesn't get played with a different bass that won't get played seems like a complete waste of time and effort.

 

On the other hand, many of my basses are pretty non-standard or left-field and therefore hard to price, so I'm not absolutely wedded to the figure stated.

 

I'm in Harrow HA1, close to Sudbury Hill on the Piccadilly Line, and I gig regularly throughout Beds, Bucks, Herts & Middx, with occasional forays into Surrey. Pickup in person is always preferable to despatch (from home, or a mutually-convenient pub, or at one one of my gigs), but I've had nothing but good experiences with DPD so if you live more than - say - 50 miles from Harrow then that's an option.

 

Right ... you want non-standard? Then non-standard you shall have.

 

 

Is this the only Danelectro twin-neck in the UK? Dunno, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

 

 

File under "there's something you don't see every day".

 

 

Basically someone bought two Danelectro Longhorn basses, sawed off the bits they didn't want, and glued the rest together.

 

Or something.

 

 

The tunders are the original, completely shitty design. They work as well as any other Danelectro tuners but are a big step down from a Fender or similar.

 

 

From this angle, it looks vaguely Klingon to me.

 

 

Shortscale, obviously.

 

 

All original, all in good working order.

 

This comes with a custom-built, fitted hardcase.

I had the guitar version of this Dano in my shop, briefly, it sold immediately to a collector. Heavy old lump.

Quite fancy the bass version, (No stoppit,aw go on etc')

I had this in my possession for a sleepover on its way to Jack.

We were tempted to run away together but he would have just tracked us down.
