Custom Ampeg Dan Armstrong AMB1 Short Scale Bass 1999 Quilted Maple Sunburst

Ampeg Dan Armstrong AMB1 Short Scale Bass

This 1999 reissue of the classic Dan Armstrong bass uses solid wood for the body material rather than the lucite used in the originals. They added a fantastic Seymour Duncan SMB-4D pickup for incredible sound from a short scale bass. If you love the sound of a Stingray bass, but prefer a shorter scale for easier playability, this is the bass for you.

This is a great playing bass with low action and very comfortable scale. An added benefit is that it is relatively lightweight, which really helps on those long gigs.

This bass will be carefully packaged and shipped to you via fedex. There is no case included.

Condition:

The bass is in overall good condition. Please carefully view the pictures, as we have tried to photograph all blemishes. It has some small chips and scratches, as you would expect from an instrument of this age. The finish on some of the metal parts is tarnished. Some polishing work should bring them back to their original luster.
