yo tengo un longhorn.
A mi me gusta. Es de los hechos en china.
No tengo nivel para dar una opinión cualificada. Solo la pobre experiencia de un aficionado que está empezando. Tambien tengo un squier classic vibe 60 precision. Me gustan los dos, pero en mis manos siempre acaba, misteriosamente, el danelectro. Pero el mundo debe de tener razón y yo estar equivocado.
Menos mal que me habeis iluminado.
Jimmy Page, Mark knopfler, suenan fatal con sus dc59.
John Entwistle un pringado.

On the recording of My Generation:
I bought this Danelectro bass and it had these tiny, thin wirewound strings on. They were so thin, they sounded just like a piano, an unbelievably clear sound. The only thing was that you couldnt buy these strings. When we recorded My Generation, I ended up with three of these Danelectros just for the strings. The last one I had, the string busted before we actually got into the studio to re-record it, so I did it on a Fender Jazz in the end with tape-wound La Bella strings.
I played that solo on a Jazz bass with tapewound strings through a Marshall 50 watt and 4x12. Interestingly, the bass solos on the earlier takes were much more complicated, and played on a Danelectro which had a much more piano-like sound. It was a medium scale bass with a two-octave neck. The trouble was that the strings were so thin that I kept breaking them. Wed record during the day and, to finance the sessions, we were playing gigs nearly every night, and inevitably Id break a string. None of the music shops had any replacement strings and no string manufacturers made replacement strings thin enough for Dano basses then, so I had to go down to Marshalls and buy a new Dano for £60. I ended up with three new Danelectros, all with busted strings! In the end I busted my last string at the third attempt and there werent any more in the country. I thought, Fuck it, and went and bought myself a Fender Jazz bass and a set of La Bella strings, and played the solo with that. But it was a different sound and a simplified, slowed-down version of the solos on previous takes.
Un pobre prigado...
