Made in Korea.
Well ... characteristics for all has been said ... but I insist on the need really is the cheap home cheap. The tuners do not agree very well and it is horrible to turn. The bridge is sketchy, not adjustable, and all the strings do not go in (do not try to install ropes with a big pull). The knobs are poor plastoc, the body is a sandwich of plastic over a wooden frame, the widgets to put the strap are ugly, fragile, and the wrong place ... Only the handle is not too badly screwed.
Note that I have the black version with sequins ... and this is particularly atrocious seen up close.
You ask me why I bought it? Well, I will explain below.

UTILIZATION

So which is quite nice is that it is very very low light. It holds up pretty well. We can do well with the con on stage. As I'm jumping style in every sense and I roll over, it is convenient. The handle is bonnard rather fast. We easily get a good sound, but it is certainly not thanks to the knobs.
Another nice, as it is hollow, it sounds good. So nice to play de-plugée in his sofa.

SOUNDS

I bought this bass because I needed a low mid granted for occasions punk (hence the ugly choice of color). The pickups are really great fun, they make a clear sound, a little digging, that a little twang. This is a super good bass for the punk (Fat Mike of No Fx plays above), but it would also be perfect for the garage rock, all styles that eventually-billy, country and even more styles. For the rest, forget. Personally I love the sound. The construction of this instrument is atrocious, but at least it sounds ... which is always better than the reverse. In addition it is endearing. I play on a configuration Mazzette Lowrider for overdrive and a hot preamp Tech21 bassdriver I clean rule, and I get all that on an amp and a Genz Benz 2x15 cabinet chillbass. It sends severe, it not bleed, and it looks good living and especially the sound of the Danelectro. Content.

OVERALL OPINION

I had a LOT of bass for 15 years that I make music: Rick, USA Fender, Warwick, Musicman, ... Currently I play on an Ibanez ATK Japanese which was customized at Wild guitars. As I also tickles the 6 string, I bought a Danelectro newer and it has never left me, so I bought a bass from the same brand. It's ugly, badly screwed up, but it sounds and it's really cheap. The value is just incredible, so I would do this choice ... and if I had a bigger apartment, I probably will launch a small collection.
Rock on!
