Bassman Sam Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I've played one. Probably the heaviest bass I've ever played. Looks really cool though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passinwind Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I think one of those was the first or second fretless bass I ever played, ca. 1972. And yeah, heavy would be an understatement, and I owned a Travis Bean for 40 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Not a DA, but I just posted this in a different thread. It's so heavy it generates its own gravity & weather systems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I know Charlie Jones used to play a plexi one, dont look like a DA Jones is amongst others, Goldfrapp's bassist, is married to Robert Plant's daughter and was bassist on some of Planty's solo albums Skip to 1:32 if you cant be donkeyed to watch it from the start 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloney Balderdash Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) I owned one once, even with an additional extra slide in pickup. However I didn't like neither how it felt in my hands or sounded (neither of the 2 pickups). Should have kept it though, kind of regret selling it.

Daz39 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Is it Tone Plexiglass or just cheap Bassglass? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony_m Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Always fancied one of these after seeing Rick Price playing one with the good ol' Georgia Satellites back in the day. Rick Richards occasionally played a DA plexi guitar too, both on view here... 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
