While Fender, Gibson, Gretsch and Rickenbacker were making guitars from the highest quality tone woods in the late 50s and 60s – Nat Daniel went in another direction. He made cheaper guitars that anybody could afford. Cheap, but playable and with a great, unique sound. Great sound was certainly obtainable from Danelectros – as Jimmy Page proved with his Shorthorn six string and John Entwhistle demonstrated to a similar level of perfection with the Longhorn bass. This bass sports Dano's iconic Shorthorn double-cut body shape and a pair of high-output Lipstick pickups. Plugging in yields a punchy low end with plenty of harmonics. You won't have to worry about playing comfort, either! The 29.75-inch scale length is easy on your hands, making it an excellent option for guitar and bass players alike. Its lightweight hardboard/plywood body is comfortable, whether playing standing or seated, and its fast maple neck and pau ferro fingerboard provide smooth playability.
