Vintage Hondo Double Neck Longhorn Electric Bass




    • Estimated at early 1980's. Solid body and a much higher quality build than a Danelectro
    • Two 34" scale necks - one 8 string bass and one 4 string bass
    • Two output jacks - one for the 8 string bass only and one switchable between the two necks
    • The white switch is the pickup selector switch for the 8 string neck
    • The black switch is the neck selector switch
    • The lower two knobs are for the 4 string neck, the upper two are for the 8 string neck
    • Instrument weighs 13.5 lb. - there are 4 strap buttons to choose from for optimum comfort
    • Near mint condition - kept in the case in a closest
    • There is some rust on the pickup screws and split coil pole pieces which can be cleaned off with the proper solution if desired. The switches could use a squirt of cleaner/lube. I haven't opened it in a long time
    • Form fitted padded original hardshell case in excellent condition - there is some paint or tape residue on the exterior which can be removed with the proper solution
    • Very rare it was a very very small production run

Comments

Brian, how about "Looking and sounding badass onstage"? Other bassists go insane when I pull this one out. The shorter-scale length on the eight string is the dream ticket- much easier to play than the Hamer 8 and 12's. Duke (who ran an older bass site) used to say these are the real deal, the Danelectros be da' Ho's.
Having owned some of both I agree with that. It's tough enough finding a single neck Hondo Longhorn let alone this model.

Got the single neck 4 and they are the real deal especially in a muddy-sounding room.
 
Got my arm twisted and sold my L5000 (even though I didn't have that one listed) so I'm keeping this one. Just too radical to let go of. Of course I feel pretty much that way about all of them but I'd never find another one of these. After all, it is a dark dark sin to sell a bass one loves. Maybe I should list one of my vehicles instead but alas....
