benebass Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) 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: - [attachment=33678:63_bass_black.jpg] There's also a video review at [url="http://www.danguitars.com/BassGuitars.html"]http://www.danguitars.com/BassGuitars.html[/url] (scroll down near the bottom of the page).

benebass Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 One thing I missed off my original post was that I have all the original packaging for this so will do it for £140 posted Cheers, B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
