    Dan Armstrong bass guitar for sale, this is a London model made between 1972-75, I bought it new in either 74 or 75. It is the short scale model with a sliding pick-up and a mahogany body, the guitar is in excellent condition and never been gigged. Vintage & Rare Guitars in Denmark Street London sold the last one they had of this for £850. It comes complete with a case with is a bit battered due to my dog Rosie ripping of some the case covering and chewing off the handle when I lived at my mums years ago – BAD DOG ! See pictures attached, I’d prefer collection only but open to other means as well. I live in South East London. Link to the Dan Armstrong site [url="http://www.danarmstrong.org/londonbass.html"]http://www.danarmstrong.org/londonbass.html[/url] PRICE £600.00 (I’m open to offers) Thanks John

    [quote name='lettsguitars' post='1109931' date='Jan 31 2011, 07:41 PM']very sought after bass. dan armstrong was (is? i think he's gone now) an absolute legend. is there a serial or date?[/quote] No serial number (looked under the truss rod plate last week where they were sometimes hand -written) but from the Dan Armstrong website they were built between 1972-75, I bought it new in 74 or 75, a mate bought a 6 string plexiglass model at the same time, great guitars. John :-)

    [quote name='casapete' post='1100067' date='Jan 23 2011, 08:30 PM']Nice bass! I've always fancied one of these after briefly owning the guitar model in the mid 70's. Dan Armstrongs appear to vary greatly in value - I've seen them go for anything between £400 and over a grand. The Jack Bruce connection is always a help,( especially with rich collectors who willingly snap up anything remotely Cream related) so good luck with your sale. (Maybe try a for sale post on here?)[/quote] Thanks for the advice and the info., I'll have a scout around the net for more info and maybe then try to sell on her. Cheers John

    I need a bit of advice, I'm out of work at the moment due to a medical problem and I;m thinking of selling my bass, problem is I don't know what it's worth, anyone on here give me an idea.. The bass is a Dan Armstrong London bass with a sliding pick-up, it's the short scale model with a mahogany body. Hopefully I'll be able to buy a cheaper bass if I can sell the DA.[attachment=69807:IMGP0443.JPG] Thanks John

    Hi all Just joined, I play a Dan Armstrong Short Scale London bass with a sliding pickup through a 100 watt Marshall Bass combo, just for fun, also play a six string Yamaha Pacifica through a little Fender Bullet Reverb combo. Looking forward to joining in the chat. John
