CSL Dan Armstrong-type bass on FB

Don't recall them with two humbuckers. Nice neck/'board for the mid '70s.

There were a few variations on the different MIJ copies of these - this CSL's a Fujigen model 2364B. The 2x Maxon 'buckers were standard, but the slightly wonky & tarnished brass scratchplate not so much! The original scratchplate should be tasteful wood-effect Formica, to match the head & trc.

 

 

This is cool but a bit tatty/unoriginal - £800 is probably a little over-the-odds.

Are these things weighty?

I'd expect so. Never played a Armstrong or Armstrong copy, but I have an acrylic-bodied Precision and it's insanely heavy.

Back in my teens, I sometimes rehearsed in the attic of a hippy flat. There was a Dano plexi guitar there, and it was heavy enough, iirc.
