Hondo 1981 Longhorn Bass MIJ Cream Sunburst Nice! BadAss Bridge 10297
Description (see more pics below)
This is a 1981 Hondo Longhorn bass in Cream Sunburst (that’s what the company called it). Very clean condition. Features:
— Mahogany body and neck, rosewood board
— 2-octave, 24-fret neck & BadAss II bridge
— P-bass-style pickups w/ phase switch
These are modeled after vintage 60s Danelectro basses and made in Japan with real quality construction. Previous owner added the BadAss upgrade, a clear pickguard a la Danelectro, and a 3-stooges decal on the back, which could be removed. Frets are in good condition and it plays great. Cosmetically very clean for a 40-year-old bass. One small mark and various mild play wear. An iconic look that will turn heads and sounds great to boot. No case. Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing. Thanks for looking!

Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
