Description
What makes this bass special: In 1969 Ampeg and guitar super-guru Dan Armstrong set about revolutionizing the electric guitar. What came next was "clearly" innovative, technologically advanced and well, clear! Produced for only a short period of time between 1969 & 1971, these instruments were initially made popular by the Rolling Stones during their '69 tour. The Stones took the stage with Keith Richards sporting the 'See Through' guitar and Bill Wyman playing the companion bass. The legend was born. This gorgeous fretless version was just recently acquired from the original owner who kept it all original & in great shape over the years. Professionally set up by our luthier so it plays & sounds fantastic!
