Details

90s reissue lucite Dan Armstrong bass. It comes with both the DB and CB pickups and original hardshell case.

The good: the neck and body are in great condition as are the electronics. There is some very light pitting on the bridge. Its been a well used bass and is Almost 20 years old.

The not so good: a piece of the pickguard broke off and the nob that locks the interchangeable pickup through the back got lost over the years. The pickup doesnt fall out without it.

I am open to a variety of trade options or a straight sale. I am interested in usa made basses, lightweight cabs, amps and pedals. I dont need a fretless, passive Jazz or a P bass. I am particularly interested in a stingray or a richenbacker.

I haven't played a reissue, but I have an original from 1970, and it sounds HUGE. I would imagine the reissue is the same. The reissue also has an improved bridge, and the original didn't have the swappable pickup (only the guitar did). My DA is the bass that proved to me that short scale basses need to be taken seriously.

Its definitely a unique bass. The sustain is quite impressive and swap able pickups are an idea that maybe should have taken off. The bassist from Death From Above in 1979 swears by these.

My pedal game is quite pathetic. I basically use my zoom b3 for everything, which did nothing satisfying my pedal itch. I am looking for a compressor, preamp, di, and a delay.
