This summer (2007) I bought my first copy of Bass Player Magazine in 10 years and I saw this Ampeg type bass reviewed briefly in it. I checked the website and re-read the review and saw the paypal button and... holy shit! Before you know it I had bought it! They make it TOO easy. For people with G.A.S. such as myself, this is like being a gambler and living between the racetrack and the casino... like being an alcoholic and living between a bar and a wine tasting joint. You're helpless.
But...
I love it! The F holes go through the whole body. It has one passive pickup and the sound is vintage fretless. Warm and deep. The finish on the fingerboard is shiny and seems not to have any dead spots or buzzes. I was only able to play it for a week in NY before I came to Caracas, but I will be getting it here in the near future.
Fun, easy to play and what a looker! I will get girls with this bass!
