Danelectro Longhorn Review

History:

Purchase: I bought my bass in 1997 at a local record store (Electric Fetus) that "sidelined" the Danelectro musical line. I wanted a short-scale bass because they play fast and they're fun. I got a pretty good price markdown and ended up paying about $200.

What I Like About This Unit: The Danelectro Longhorn is light and well balanced. The bass plays fast and it is fun to play. It also has nice tone range from bass to treble. It is especially fun playing funky stuff when you're looking for a little 'bite' to the tone. And it's easy to fret all the way up the neck of the two full octaves.

What I Do NOT Like About The Danelectro Longhorn: The bridge the bass comes with is non-adjustable, so you cannot fine tune the strings.

Longhorn Quality: The bass was well made. I did not have to make any adjustments at purchase. I have had the bass for seven years now and except for a few truss-rod/action adjustments I have had no problems with deteriorating hardware or sound quality.

Summary: The Danelectro Longhorn Bass is a lot of bass for the money. It is also an ideal bass for a younger/smaller person or female because it is small and light. It is a fantastic beginner's bass but also a lot of fun for a seasoned bassist. I rate it a 9 out of 10 which is 4.5 which I will round out to 5.

Rating of this product: 5
