seventiesfreak Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) Hi all, I need to sell my London bass, I will upload some pics tonight. Its had a pro refinish around 10 years ago and has sat in its case since, original hardwear and sliding pickup still oinstalled. Edited September 6, 2012 by seventiesfreak
ash Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Great basses these but you'll need to state a price. Forum rules. Cheers!
seventiesfreak Posted September 4, 2012 Author Posted September 4, 2012 OK, thanks. im looking for £700 o.n.o thanks
BassBod Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Lovely bass - simple but functional. Dan Armstrong did some great things (including getting people like Rick Turner and Carl Thompson into the business). Good luck with the sale
ash Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) There were two versions of this plus a long/short scale option. The second version had different shaped horns, it may be a camera angle fault but the horns on this look shorter than on both models. Has the bass been modified in any way prior to refinishing - also what is the neck joint like as these basses commonly need a neck reset as a result of a the glues drying out at the neck joint? Looking at the pics again this appears to be the first version as it has the 'London' logo on the fascia. Edited September 5, 2012 by ash
seventiesfreak Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 I purchased it in a very worn condition a good number of years ago it had been painted black and a god awful job it was, i never questioned the horn shape and assumed that they were like this as id never seen another, the neck is solid as a rock no movement issues with it whatsoever and it certainly hasnt been glued or reset, thanks for your interest..
ash Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Here we go - http://www.danarmstrong.org/londonbass.html That gives all the variants so you can compare yours to them. I have owned both versions and I prefer the look of the one with the shorter horns as it reminds me of the very first Gibson EBO bass. Good luck
seventiesfreak Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 Thanks for the link, it would appear that maybe mine has been modified, eitherway its still a real nice bass. Offers anyone?
seventiesfreak Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 TTT, any interest in the Londoner? A fine well balanced bass!
seventiesfreak Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 Any offers for this fantastic bass?
seventiesfreak Posted September 20, 2012 Author Posted September 20, 2012 Any interest?? if not, its going back in its case to be stored away for another ten years
dlewty Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 Do you still have the DA london bass for sale? Cheers Dave
