[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.

Emailed Vintage and Rare Guitars in Denmark Street, London and they told me the last one they sold went for £850, going up to the shop tomorrow to see them. John

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

Thanks for the welcome 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
