Syndicateofsurf Joined: Oct 08, 2014 Posts: 1073 Northern Ohio	Posted on Aug 02 2015 09:48 AM Oh what the hey. I vote for my 1990 Dano Hodad in Commie Red (5th from the left). Tuned to drop C it is heavy on tone and style. No trem arm but anytime I hit an open E (which with the tuning is C) I can swing it and get AMAZING vibrato effects. Best bass: My 1990 Dano Longhorn in classic copperburst (not pictured). — Da Vinci Flinglestein, The quest for the Tone, the tone of the Quest The Syndicate of Surf on YouTube http://www.syndicateofsurf.com/ http://sharawaji.com/ http://surfrockradio.com/ Top

choice_of_meat Joined: Oct 04, 2013 Posts: 42	Posted on Aug 05 2015 11:51 AM Did someone already post one of those wacky shark guitars? (if someone already did, then well here one of them is again). I think if you own one of these you pretty much have to play an ocean related song, and hopefully smash it at the end. Top

shake_n_stomp Joined: Jan 09, 2014 Posts: 613 Vancouver BC	Posted on May 02 2016 01:55 PM With the Hang-Ten Hangmen, I use my Oly White Jeff Beck Strat w/ Seymour Duncan SSL-1 single coils. Surf music I play outside of that band would bring in these Classic Players. I bought both retail...the JM in autumn 2015 and the Jag in spring 2016. I ordered a set of Fender Pure Vintage '65s for the Jag. Currently using 12 rounds on the Jag and 11 rounds on the JM. — Lorne The Surf Shakers: https://www.facebook.com/TheSurfShakers Vancouver BC Canada Top
