2010 Ampeg Dan Armstrong ADA4 Lucite Bass Reissue Clear Lucite

No sales tax for customers outside California.

Here we have an ultra-cool Ampeg made reissue of the original Dan Armstrong ADA4 Lucite bass.  

This bass has seen very little use since it was purchased new by the previous owner.  We also purchased a killer 2010 Ampeg Heritage SVT-CL and SVT 810 cab from him that is in equally clean condition that he bought at the same time as the bass.

Free of scratches and dings beyond a few that are ultra superficial.  The truss rod was checked and there is room for future neck relief adjustments. 

It plays great, and though you might think it would be heavy, it weighs in at just 9lbs 6.6oz.

The bass case to us without a case, so I added a nicer, used, gig bag. 

From the original press release for the reissue:

"...The Ampeg ADA4 is a near-exact replica of the original Ampeg Dan Armstrong "Plexi" bass.  The 1998 MIJ reissue ADA4 features the same eye-catching clear acrylic body and unique sound that made its predecessor an immediate hit among iconic bassists of the era."

The re-issue benefits from an improved bolt-on neck joint, as well as a solid bridge with compensated brass saddles. This bridge couples directly to the bridge plate enhancing tone and sustain, while the bridge plate, which is also the string holder (tail piece), allows the most efficient string-to-body contact available.

Custom removable pickups by Kent Armstrong, who designed the original guitar and bass pickups for his father in the '60s and '70s, employ a unique stacked design where the tone control mixes the treble and bass coils for a depth of tone that belies the instrument's 30-inch scale.

Additional instrument features include nickel Grover tuners, vintage rotary volume and tone pots with a two-way switch, and an authentic Formica pick guard with aluminum backing for electronic shielding and maximum durability...
