Dan Armstrong Bass Guitar Serial Numbers

In order to determine the number of Ampeg Dan Armstrong guitars produced during the 1969 - 1971 production run, the key data points will be the serial number of the first guitar, the serial number of the last guitar, and whether Ampeg employed a strict sequential numbering system in between. After that it's simple math. At upper left, and as can be clearly seen, a 1971 Dan Armstrong guitar with a fairly high serial number A2720D which happens to belong to my friend Elon. The Reissue of a classic. Toshiba Camileo Drivers Software. The bass is pretty much mint, with it's original case. It's the modern Japanese reissue. If you want it, you know it. Each bass and amp represented includes a detailed description for every production year, along with image galleries and serial number ranges. The goal of VintageBassWorld.com was to build a fast, responsive website that's easily accessible on a phone or computer, providing quick answers about most vintage bass guitars. The Dan Armstrong London instruments were made of solid Honduran mahogany with sliding low impedance pickups, available as a six string guitar, and short-scale and long-scale basses. Armstrong also marketed a line of tube guitar and bass amplifiers and effects boxes, the Blue Clipper, Yellow Humper, Red Ranger, Purple Peaker, Green Ringer.

The single Venetian cutaway Hofner President (model 5122) and the non-cutaway Hofner Senator (5121) electric guitars were two of the most popular Hofner models offered by Selmer in the mid-1960s. Both guitars were available as full-bodied instruments (as illustrated) and as thinlines, with no difference in price. Furthermore, each model was also available as a (full body depth) acoustic model with no pickups or controls - see pages 20 and 21.

As with all the electric guitars in this brochure, there had been some upgrades in specification: most notably the change from 'Super-Response' ('Toaster') pickups, to the new design 'Nova-Sonic' units, and from the old Console controls to the more intuitive volume/tone for each pickup layout as used by Gibson, Guild etc. In previous catalogues (see the 1960, for example) the President is fitted with the same Compensator tailpiece as the Senator.

Each model was available in Brunette (sunburst) and Blonde (natural) finishes, and were priced as follows (United Kingdom 1964 pricing): President: Brunette/Blonde 46 gns./48 gns.; Senator: Brunette/Blonde 27 gns./28 gns.

THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY RARE 1974 DAN ARMSTRONG GUITAR, MODEL 341 LONDON, WITH SLIDING PICK UP. AROUND 300 of these were made, (including basses), and I believe this is number 54 judging by the serial number. As immortalised by David Bowie, picture 5.
