1962 Danelectro Longhorn 4-string Bass

Danelectro’s Longhorn Basses & Guitarlins are some of our favorite Vintage pieces anywhere. They were so simply made & inexpensive when made in the late 50’s thru the 70’s. Many famous people used & loved these as they had a tone & playability like no other cheap guitar. This example is a very unusual & rare all original model Bass IV in its factory Copper’burst finish on its front & back of its body & on its neck. It is a very cool variant of its other Bass siblings. It sports a pair of original “Lipstick” tubed pickups. Its body has Dano’s signature cloth covered sides on its body still intact. The finish is very patinated w/lots of finish checking & flaking but it’s an ultra cool vibey bass ! It’s missing a bit of its original headstock logo still sporting its 3 on a side tuners, its clear pickgard & its concentric stacked knobs. Played by the likes of John Entwistle of the Who & Rinus Gerritsen, the bass player in Golden Earring. This has got to be one of the coolest, rare & all original Dano’s of its time. She’s very good overall & comes in a decent hard case.
