danelectro

my buddy dave usedta play a danelectro bass back when i was trying to insinuate him into bands i was in during high school, as did the bassplayers in beefheart's magic band. you occasionally see pics of jimmy page playing a danelectro gtr, too. while i wasn't thrilled with the reish danelectro gtrs from a few yrs back, they've apparently upgraded their hardware (my big beef was the shitty wooden bridges), and apparently they now have a line of stompboxes that retail for $19. haven't heard 'em yet, but i'll definitely be checking 'em out the next time i'm in the market for a distortion or overdrive box. i liked their daddy-o overdrive pedal real much back when i had one (before i switched to ts-9's and fuzzfaces). it seemed to give a little midrange boost even when it wasn't on.
