Dan Armstrong Jazz Bass Pickup
This Jazz Bass pickup came on the market in March 2014 and I don't seem to have saved down the asking price. JB pickups are ultra-rare items, with this example being even more enticing by inclusion of the original box.
Note the "Jazz Bass" sticker on the side of the pickup, which indicates that this one was built early in 1969 before they went to impressed letter codes on the face of the pickup. Stickers probably seemed like a good idea at the time, until the pickups were actually installed in the plexi body and then you couldn't see the label. So after a small initial run of pickups with side labels, all subsequent pickups built through 1971 had letter codes impressed on the top of the pickup. |
