Welcome to the New Daions Online
Well, the old site is gone. Hope the search engines pick this one up.
Good news is that the new home of Daions Online here is up and running, and seems to be a total success. The site is averaging about 60+ hits per day, which I think is phenomenal for such a narrowly focused subject. Once the search engines pick it up, maybe it will increase even more. Thanks to all who are visiting, and sending comments and info.
Look around at the links to the right and feel free to make suggestions. I have tried to stimulate a little interaction with the new serial number lists and other sections like First, Latest, Current, Super Rare Daions and Daions Onstage. Any other ideas for new sections are welcome. I’m really trying to avoid this site being as stagnant as the old one. It’s a lot more fun from my end already. The software here is SOOOO much better than what I used to build the old site.

I am hoping a lot of folks can find the new site here. I was forced to move here due to my internet provider shutting down the old site, but now I like this a LOT better. Just hope the search engines will pick it up quickly. The old Daions Online site had a lot of traffic.

Hi,
Is this Mike? I’m sure glad I decided to Google Daions!
I have a black Savage fretless with unlined maple neck. If anyone is interested, please reply here and I can send pics.
Thanks!

It’s great to finally find you after your old site went down. I’m a new recent owner of an original Daion Power Mark XX B fretless in terrific condition. Been well kept for 27 years by one owner and now in my hands will get some TLC and some play time!
cheers!

Hi ! You need to remove the old website addresses from the Info section of facebook, and slot in the new one. Appreciate all you are doing.

Gavin, the facebook page is not mine, and neither is that old address.

hi mike. love your new site! i was reading your review of 2 power mark xx b basses that u have. u mention a Bartolini pickup and elecs package. is that the best electronic package a person can have on a bass? i am waiting to recieve a daion xx b from ebay & wondered if that is what i should get installed on it. i am totally new to bass guitars since i am mostly a fingerstyle acoustic player. i own about 7 daions. thanx for any tips u might send my way on the bass.

Hey Mike, I am actually running active EMGs in my black fretted bass and the factory pickups in the fretless. I keep procrastinating installing the EMGs in the fretless, but need to to get it done. Main reason I want the EMGs in the fretless is just to bring the gain up to the same level as the EMGs in the black bass and my Hamer B12L. Tone-wise the old stock pickups sound great, but just not nearly as hot as the EMGs. I have to turn the other two basses down so I don’t have to fiddle with the amp volume onstage. If somebody turns the knobs on any of the basses, I’m hosed when time comes to change out and go to the next song. Having them all the same output will put an end to that.

Wow,just found this site. Big Yamaki fan.Have owned a few over the years.Now I only have my 78 heritage left, and sadly I’m reluctantly thinking about selling it. Something I said I’d never do. But something else has caught my eye and I need to raise money for it. Does anyone else have a 78 that doesn’t say Daion on it ? Most of them Iv’e seen have Daion on the back of the headstock.Mine says yamaki on the back and on the tuners too. I’m kinda kicking tires here , but if I sell it .I’d rather sell it to someone who appreciates Yamakis. Rather than throw it up on Ebay.
