I had one of the guitars and it weighed seventy-three pounds. It was cool that the effects were built in like an old Vox, tho.
Play it in good health!
New bass day
Always wanted a Dano Longhorn. They were cheap, sound great and play great, and I'm not sure why I never got around to it. I mean, they're still available but currently not cheap.
@ardgedee I like the shape of the '59 and '63 basses, but the longhorn always looks unwieldy to me, though they do sound great.
@spingo Thanks! This bass is so light (compared to most basses) i'm surprised the guitars were that heavy.
@nikkuneko I might see if there's a way to rewire it to be quieter, or if it's just an artifact of that circuit. The chorus effect does sound good, so if i can't make it work on the bass maybe i'll see if it fits in a pedal enclosure instead.

@thelonius No, full 34" scale, which is a bonus because i prefer long scale but it seems like most of the funkier basses i like are short
@wjcstp It's been a very long time since I've played a longhorn but I recall it being surprisingly comfortable on the lap. It looks unwieldy but it's so light that it's easy to handle. What with the problems I have with full-size bass bodies now I'd have to try it again to see if I could still play one, but since I'm not in the market for another bass I won't be making an effort.
I've got a Longhorn and it's teeny and light and perfect.
What I really want is the Longhorn baritone tho. Tic-tac skadooliak!

i remember those danoblaster guitars and basses being in one of my hometown's guitar shops, and they were surprisingly fun to play. agree that those effects were kinda noisy circuits though.
