SOLD Epiphone Century Deluxe Archtop Bass Guitar With Custom Kent Armstrong Pickup

Kristo · December 2019

Epiphone Masterbilt DeLuxe Century archtop bass in excellent condition. Fitted with Labella 760N black nylon strings which I think are an improvement on the stock D'addario’s. The original piezo pickups on these are pretty bad, but I know some people can make them work for what they want. These basses play well and look super cool, so I had some dialog with Aaron at Kent Armstrong pickups about other options that would work for me. He has wound me custom floating pickups for these basses, which give the lovely warm, thuddy tone that I requested. This has been wired directly to the output jack, with the piezo disconnected. The bass now has a beautiful double bass type sound which works brilliantly for the old time stuff I play. My gigging bass is the natural finish version, and I got this one as I wanted a sunburst too. Now other things are needed so this one’s up for sale.

I will also include the stock D'addario Black Nylon strings and a gig bag in the sale.

Collection much preferred but I have a box so postage is an option.
