Anyone ever play any Dano guitars?

What a nice, simplistic design they have. The longhorns are a bit too much for me, though.

I thought that too, but they definitely grow on you. Clever design too - because of the bridge position, the guitar's the same length as a tele, despite it having a 5" longer neck. Which is nice for me, as I only have the one gigbag that came with my Edwards Jr.

Hmm that's interesting. I kind of fancied one of them a while ago, but I was afraid my
bandmates would laugh at me. Also, I think I'd just hurt myself with one of these.

Your mighty twang and low-end magnificence will deter any piss taking. And if the longhorn shape was good enough for Jon Entwistle and Mke Watt...

Mike Watt? Really?

..not too far out of the realm of possibility - her talks about the time he met Richard Hell and played his first bass(Dano) here:

I wonder how often Watt has used the expression "doing the spiel", ha ha

I have one of these Dan-O-Blasters w/ built-in distortion.
it's a nice guitar, like the neck profile.
the tuners are quite cheesy-looking but the guitar stays in tune.
maybe these tuners may wear out faster, but only time will tell ...

those are cool, they make me think of firebirds for some reason

I think I really, really, really, really, really, really, really want a Dano Baritone.

You wouldn't regret it!  It really is a wonderful instrument for the price!

I want an actual dano bass so that I can have something tuned E-E. There was a mustard yellow Jerry Jones Baritone at a music store for around $800 and it was from 1997 and I WANTED IT, badly...

[flatfiver]

Are you talking about a 4 string or one of the 6 string basses?  The VIs were reissued at one point, I've seen 1 or 2 on eBay.  Jerry Jones makes them too.

[StevenO]

6 strings tuned E-E.

I wanted one years ago when they were reissued but never got around to buying one. Jerry Jones are too much moneyz for me at the moment.

I have a U1, single pickup model. I get a swampy blues tone out of it , but alas it's just a one trick pony.
