These guitars were actually made by Yamaki and imported by the MCI corporation out of Waco, Texas. My password (ha ha) is markxx.

Christopher:

Very nice looking bass. I particularly like the extended upper horn. I brought mine into Alembic yesterday and let them have a looksee. Susan was quite impressed with the quality of workmanship. She said if Alembic were to build an empty guitar (just wood - no electronics) of similar quality it would cost at least $3000. Enjoy your bass, at least until you get an Alembic! If you have any other info on Daion, please send me an e-mail - I'd love to learn more about this defunct company and their instruments. By the way, I have read they were based in Mydland, Texas, but who knows? My second Daion, an acoustic Caribou from ebay, is currently in transit.

Bill, tgo

I had a Daion 4-string bass, almost exactly looking like the guitar in the originator mail of this thread. Bought it at about -90 with a crazy bargain price of about $400. But when I got my Alembic, I sold it way too cheaply as I did not really need two bass guitars.. only recently I've understood the value of that little thing.
