New Bass Day - Coral/Hagstrom Longhorn

[Denis]

Been a while since I've logged in: I hope everyone is well!

Thought I'd share a photo of my latest: a Coral/Hagstrom Longhorn built by Subway/Fatdawg Guitars in the 1980s. I sent them a photo and they said they could still build a few using NOS Coral Longhorn bodies, but they wouldn't use a Hagstrom neck. Apparently they are pretty rare and valuable.
I think the pickup and knobs are also Hagstom.

I have to deal with the bizarre ground wire, but the bass plays, sounds and looks great!

Very cool indeed.  Love the color and the neck.

That's wild !
I'm a big Longhorn fan .

That's the kind of burst I like.

Surprised Fatdawg is still around.

Now, that's what I'm inclined to call a really beautiful bastard! That's one cool mother! Congratulations!
Is the pickup the same as the ones used on some Guild basses in the 60's?

[Stjofön Big]

Just realised the Guilds ones were black. Sorry!

It's a very nice burst indeed. I read somewhere recently that Kawai build these bodies for Danelectro.

When I talked to the guy at Subway the other day he said that Fatdawg has some health issues and only comes in about one day a week.

No worries! A buddy did tell me that Hagstrom made the original Guild Bisonic bass pickups. Could be why they looked familiar to you!

I was trying to figure out what Hagstrom bass that neck was originally from and stumbled across a Hagstrom which had the same pickups and knobs.

Love it! I've been watching this one on eBay (I watch tons of stuff that I have no intention of buying).
