Victoria De Angelis

It’s one in black. It was posted on her Instagram story showing her pedalboard. This is De Angelis' signature bass guitar, and used on Eurovision performances of "ZITTI E BUONI". In December 2022 Guitar World interview, De Angelis explained how she obtained the Danelectro Longhorn.

Well, at first I played a Fender P-Bass, which was a lot of fun, but it was pretty heavy on me. I wanted a short-scale bass, so I bought a Fender Mustang. It was good, but it didn’t have the low end I was looking for. Then I happened to see the Danelectro Longhorn in a used-instrument page. It was pretty cheap, so I thought, “OK, fine, I’ll try that.” At first, I didn’t think it was good and I was like, “Whatever. I’ll just bring it to rehearsals.” Then I started to play it with the band, and I was like, “Fuck, this is actually really good!” That’s how it all started. I really liked its tone and how it felt. There’s not many bass players who use it, so I like how it’s a bit unique.

In the attached photo and album, pictures from a live performance by Måneskin show Vic using her Fender Precision bass with PJ pickups. Famously written on the bass is "Girls Bite Back". I've concluded it's the Fender Player Plus Precision based on the control layout with 4 knobs and a switch between the 2 knobs closest to the bridge, a control layout that no other Fender bass has.

In the attached image, Vic can be seen with a Fender Precision Bass in a live gig with her band Måneskin. In Guitar World December 2022 interview, De Angelis mentioned that she was a Precision Bass user before switching to Mustang, and then to Longhorn.

In this video, Victoria DeAngelis can be seen using this bass tuned down (most likely drop C) to play Måneskin’s song GASOLINE live at SiriusXM.

In the attached photo, Vic can be seen playing a Fender Jazz bass with a custom leopard print pickguard while performing with Måneskin. There are 4 knobs on the bass, which narrows down which specific Fender Jazz bass it is, but not enough for me to conclusively specify.

According to December 2022 Guitar World interview, it was initially her bass of choice before switching to Danelectro Longhorn.

In this Instagram post, DeAngelis can be seen playing an Ibanez SR250 (Pearl White) with her fellow bandmate Thomas Raggi in an old video of their band.

In this acoustic live set, Victoria is seen using a Fender Kingman acoustic bass. Not sure if it’s this or the V2. https://youtu.be/yfVH1P0U5q0?si=vsCcQjz-zHwlxneA

In this screencap of Victoria playing with Maneskin at Nova Rock Festival in 2022, she can be seen playing a Music Man Stingray during "Gasoline".
