  1. Thick DA neck for thin DA neck
    Doug Bryant

    I’ve acquired a NOS Dan neck that was never used. The neck was never even lacquered nor were the mounting holes drilled. The neck is in great shape. The problem is, for me, the neck has too thin of a profile. I know some people hate thin necks, some people hate fat necks, I’m looking for someone who is looking to trade a fat DA neck for a thin DA neck. I also have a "medium" thick – the only way I can describe it Dan neck – part of a whole guitar – Seerial # 1599. Thanks for your interest.

  2. Original bridge/RT/RB
    Richard Harrison

    Hi,

    Does anybody have an original wooden bridge part that they would consider selling for a 69 armstrong guitar? Or perhaps consider getting a copy of theirs made up by a pro for the right price, as mine has been replaced with a plastic one which isn’t really working out…

    I’m also after original Rock Bass (RB) and Rock Treble (RT) pickups to complete my set if anyone would consider selling…

    Many thanks,
    Rich

      I have a 1973 british style mahogany right hander and I need a new pickup and a 9th fret fingernail marker ( I cut one out of a dime but it’s too chrome looking compared to adonized aluminum and a vol knob would be nice the existing one is chipping

        Brian Martin

        I have a Mahagony D.A. London. I read on a website that by turning the tone knob up to max, the pickup acts as a single coil? Could anyone confirm this?

  8. DA Bass Pickup

      Pat Fenis

      Dude…you’re in luck! If you have the Ventura Lucite copy, you can use real Dan Armstrong parts. They’re all 100% totally interchangeable. You’ll NEVER find the original Ventura Lucite copy parts….NEVER.

      : i just picked up a dan armstong bass without the guts and strings. can any one guide me to where to get info on this

      No, however I own a 1970 DA bass that is in excellent condiction. It has been under my bed for the last 33 years. If you or anyone you know is interested in it please let me know. By the way it has the original strings on it.

  10. 69 DA Bass Pickup wiring
    Rick CT

    I have a 69 DA bass that I’m a little confused on the wiring. There are two wires that connect to the two outside blades. A "bare" wire from each of these two wires are connected to the middle blade. I also have a red wire which is connected to the middle-blade wires but I’m not sure where that would get connected. My guess is someone added this later on for grounding maybe?

    Can someone help me out as to if I need to get rid of this third wire or maybe email a pic what an original wiring should be?

    I haven’t used this bass yet even though I’ve had it for some time and am looking to possible sell it or (depending on how it plays) use it for my gigs. Thanks in Advance.

  11. Dan
    Danny Armstrong

    I just heard yesterday the news that, sadly, Dan had passed away. My thoughts, belatedly, go out to all his family and friends at this sad time. He was a true pioneer in the music world where so many products are copies of one another. Dan’s guitars and basses broke new ground and were themselves copied and eventually re-issued. Testament indeed that his instruments are true classics. I was lucky back in 1970 when, at the age of 14, i saw Dan on a tour demonstrating his new amps and cabs along with drummer Pete York. He made a lasting impression. It was then that i wanted one of his basses, and luckily at the age of 47 this year i eventually managed to get hold of a fretless lucite bass-gorgeous. A long wait, but worth it. I have a couple of mahogany sliding pickup basses, but the lucite is my favourite. Thanks to Dan for everything he gave us all. Danny Armstrong.

    1. Re: DAn Armstrong
      sixstringoutlaw

      : Has anyone ever heard of these? Were these Korean pickups with the Dan Armstrong name stamped on the covers? I recall this bridge humbucker in a late 80’s Westone super strat and man it was sweeter than the J90c in my Jackson at that time. I have been trying to find indfo on these pickups for over 20 years now. Any help would be appreciated.

      these pickups were hand made. they are very similar to the bill lawrence L500 xL. they are ceramic twin blade with solid covers, think emg! they were put on westone villain series and alvarez villian series and dan armstrong signature series! and possibly the westone corsair. these pickups were made in very limited quantities and are extremely hard to find, if you have some, sell at a high price or hang on to them, for you are holding pickup&guitar history! those guitar models i mentioned? a lot of people do not relize what they are holding. yes the guitars were made in korea. but… these were some serious guitars. no joke! you were right about the jackson. jackson guitars are good but at that time very few guitars could touch quality that went in to the construction of the villian and dan armstrong sigs. when you compare the villian to any thing else, compare it to ibanez JS series (joe satriani) models.seriously!… thats how good these guitars were. ive been reserching musical instruments for 17 years specializing in guitars,and i’m a guitar player myself. i have discovered that my suspicions may even be more true, is that matsumoku luthiers made these guitars. everyone knows that matsumoku made westone,vantage and silvertone guitars. but what they don’t know is that when esp bought slm (sports limited manufacturing) hence esp limited! esp hired alot of the masters from matsu. they were sent to slm. whom previously made some kramer guitars
      and the japanese kramers were being made by esp, just before esp took over slm they lauched the last of the westone line http://www.westone.info for more! they were intended for the uk market and distr. in the us by st. louis music.
      the point being they just didn’t sell very well. so st. louis music stepped in and contacted alvarez guitar co. and they quickly switched the line to the alvarez namesake! they ran from 90 to 93 and ended in late 93! now there was one confirmed line of the alvarez and westone models of the villian which the bodies were made in korea but the rest of the guitar was from usa parts, such as… the neck was a modulus graphite neck made in palo alto ca. they came with kahler usa spyder tremolos, and last but not least hand made custom dan armstong rock monsters!!! yah!!!

        :Yes that helped only I just realized today some 5 years later there was a reply to a question I had long forgotten. IIRC the Westone I saw and played these on were a Spectrum GT around 1988/1989. For some reason I find the Matsomuko Westones around quite a bit more than the supposedly inferior Korean Westones, but these are the Westones I prefer mainly for the 80’s aesthetics like reversed headstocks, Kahler Spyders and the Dan Armstrong "Rock Monsters". If I ever find one I will be a happy camper.

Also, has anyone ever heard of my particular clear body model (Electra)? Thanks.

  17. 15 sliding pickups and DA prototype guitar
    Simcha

    Hi guys, please excuse my jumping in uninvited – I came across this site by accident.
    While moving old workshop to new workshop, I found a box of NOS D/A pickups from the time of wooden guitar production in the UK. Some fitted for sliding rail, some with ears for 2 screws. About 15 assorted guitar and bass p/u’s and the original transformers.

    Also I own one of the original prototype bodies from Dan’s UK guitar production – I believe this was the only one made with a 24 fret neck – possibly made for Dan by a guitar maker in Bristo, England. Obviously an experiment because the end of the neck doesn’t match the width of the body where they are glued together.
    The body has had various pickups fitted over the years, but could probably be returned to its original setup with a scratchplate and a pickup rail, and some careful woodwork.

    Are any of these of interest to collectors/repairers/historians. ?

    I have little time for looking at the Net, so if you want to reply, please email [email protected]

      Howdy yall
      Just a F.Y.I on the black Butyrate(brand of plastic)bass that Dan made. There were only eight made and eight 6str guitars made. I’m the guy who posted the black #007 for sale a while back but withdrew because it caused a pretty big bidding war at that Ca. guitar show right after I posted it and took it to the show where I was sellin other stuff. Sorry to yank anybodys chain.I have had pro photo’s taken and it will be shown in V.G. magazine article with all seven pickups, unopened strings, case, booklets etc. With the help of Dan and others I hope to shed a light on whats what about these cool guitars. If anybody wants a jpeg let me know.

      Hey all ya have to find is a Ampeg amp made from 69 to about 75 and they all share the split shaft that the Dan Armstrong guitars and basses used. See if the owner/dealer will sell or swap them for you.
      Hope that helps.
      Cheers, billy

      PAUL again

      I found knobs on a old Ampeg amp head. The same knobs except the back isn’t a full hole. Its like a half moon shape, I’m gonna modify it with some trickery to fit the guitar.

  25. FRETLESS DAN ARMSTRONG
    DANNY ARMSTRONG

    DOES THE DAN ARMSTRONG LUCITE FRETLESS BASS HAVE A ROSEWOOD OR EBONY FRETBOARD? WERE BOTH MADE? WERE THERE ANY MADE WITH WHITE FRET MARKERS/LINES, OF ABOUT 1/8", ALONG THE EDGE OF THE FRETBOARD, ADJACENT TO THE "E" STRING? I AM NOT SURE IF MINE HAS HAD A NEW FRETBOARD AT SOME TIME, AS IT IS EBONY WITH SIDE MARKS. MAYBE IT WAS ORIGINALLY FRETTED. (NO RELATION BY THE WAY).

    Not sure the value. The Guitar Center has one for $2500, but since their vintage stuff is always overpriced, I’ll sell it for half that. Excellent condition.

    Located in Los Angeles (Hollywood area).
