Do you think the Longhorn design is cool?

It was in reference to some of the dialogue from the 'Space Hippie' conversing with Spock during an early episode of Star Trek before they started a jam session

Thanks. I had no idea.
Actually, I watched a Star Trek episode earlier tonight. But not that one.

I was gifted an original late 50s Danelectro Longhorn in the late 60s. I wasn't playing bass at the time and it just sat in my closet. I first saw one on the cover of the Trashmen's. Surfin' Bird album and thought it was really cool. After starting to play and having picked up a Precision, I decided to pull out the longhorn and give it a listen. I loved the weight, the funky (and cheap!) way it was built…and I loved the sound. At the time, I hadn't developed much muscle memory so I wanted to concentrate on the 34-inch scale and I traded it straight up for a new Peavey T-40. I still think they were a cool bass that sounded better than they had any right to.
