Josh Levine (Middle-Aged Queers)
SPB: Tell us about the day you bought your current (primary) bass and why you chose it.
Levine: I bought my current primary bass in the ‘90s at Univibe Music (RIP) in Oakland. It’s a DanElectro Longhorn, ‘90s reissue. I thought it was black. I played it and really liked the feel of it, the lightness and the sound. The sales guy Bill walked me over the window so the light hit it and said “its eggplant” -- a really nice deep color.
I had been gigging with a ‘70s Univox Mosrite copy and the electronics needed work. Even after getting it fixed, I just keep coming back to the DanElectro.
