Testimonial: I received the DC bass safe and sound (not-to-mention a day early!) and absolutely love it. It gets to make its first appearance of 11 gigs this coming Saturday. I've been playing it at rehearsals and it sounds and plays great. I thought I'd have to set-it-up but it's right at the perfect action I like and it doesn't even buzz on any frets. I'm already extolling the virtues of getting a Dano axe from you to all of my musician friends here in the bay area. Jaime "one satisfied customer" Crespo / San Francisco, CA

Testimonial: The Danelectro Longhorn Bass arrived yesterday in great shape and in a very timely manner and I appreciate doing business with folks like you. I'll surely keep you in mind when I want to add another Dano to my collection. Thanks again for the great transaction. Joe Smothers / Valdosta, GA

    Danelectro Hodad Bass

    circa 1998-2001 (Korea)

    Danelectro Hodad Basshodad bass colors.gif 

    Tone and punch unmatched by any bass at any price. Long scale neck, three pickups, Select-O-Matic switching, seven totally unique sounds.

    Testimonial: Got my Hodad before my $1200 custom Musicman. These are the only two basses I play, the Hodad over my Musicman 2/1. /  Mr. Milovan "Millennium" Pompa

    Testimonial: The Hodad bass I bought from you, which you listed as mint condition, arrived yesterday. You weren't exaggerating! Except for a couple of almost invisible factory imperfections on the white frame trim, I can't find any flaws. I would have written you sooner, but I'm having too much fun playing this guitar. The sustain is amazing, and with the three pickups the Hodad can really jam. I'm still working out the range of sounds it makes. The tones I'm getting so far are distinctly different from any I can get from my Ibanez or Hofner. You shipped it quickly, you packed it very well and it is as advertised. I also believe I got a bit of a bargain in the price department as well. What more could I ask for? It really is a pleasure doing business with you. Darrel Johnston / Edmond, Oklahoma

    '58 Longhorn Bass - Standard

  • '58 Longhorn Bass - Pro

    Longhorn Standard model colors: Nifty Aqua, Commie Red, Blue Burst, Copperburst, Blackburst, Aqua Burst, Burgundy Burst, Beatnik Burgundy, Blue Suede, Limo Black and. Daddy-O-Yellow.

    It's unlike any other bass. Bass players love the triple octave neck and the great hollow, resonant sound. Lightweight hollow body (like all Dano's). Vintage longhorns go for $2000+ - if you can find one. A must for pros and even occasional bass players. The "Pro" model (pictured above) features adjustable bridge and upgraded tuners.

    Testimonial: I received my Longhorn Bass in just 5 days in a strong packaging. The Dano is great ! Thank you for the high class service and the great quality of the guitar. I'll probably order another Danelectro in a near future. Highly recommanded! / Philippe Lombardi, France

    Testimonial: In 1966 I swapped my Fender Precision for a Blonde Danelectro Longhorn bass. the best bass I have ever played. I played it at the Cavern in Liverpool in 1968 in my band ADAM who's name is in the Wall Of Fame at the new Cavern. As lead vocalist and bass player, the versatility of the guitar was ace and the sound through my Selmer Treble and Bass amp and two eighteen inch Selmer speaker cabs was awesome. I still have that same longhorn bass today and will always treasure it! / David Pratt, Wales

    Testimonial: Since I got my Danelectro longhorn bass I have hardly touched my other three basses. Thank you Spencer for such a good price and fast and inexpensive shipping. You're a great packer! I was so impressed when I opened the box and saw the great condition the bass was in. Often when sellers say "mint" condition, the guitar has a lot of dings and scratches but this longhorn was like new. Not a scratch on it. Amazing condition!! I am so happy now since I've got my dream bass and at a good price too. I will definitely have more business with DanGuitars.com in the future. Thank you Spencer for making my dream come true. / Eyjó Jóns, Iceland

    Testimonial: You guys are great! The Longhorn Bass arrived in perfect condition and plays great. My new favorite bass. / Paul Cantwell, New Jersey

    Testimonial: The longhorn bass arrived safely today. It plays so effortlessly and the appearance is gorgeous. Ever since i saw a photo of John Entwistle with one of these years ago I wondered if I  would ever find one for myself. Just perfect. Thanks again! / Jim

    Testimonial: A couple of weeks ago I received a brand new Danelectro 63 long scale bass in redburst. I have been playing classic rock music for almost 20 years with my BEL AIR band, on the other corner of the world and along these years I have tried all brands of basses (Fender, Epiphone, Hofner, etc.), but this one is simply THE BEST: a very simple machine, with an outstanding powerful and clear tone even when played with fingers.  The very same Saturday I got the bass I took it with me onstage and it played like heaven, apart from the fact that it is extremely light and well balanced. Thank you for providing rock musicians with this extraordinary machine. Alfie Gayle / Montevideo, Uruguay
