❌SOLD❌ Ampeg ASB-1 Devil Bass Scroll Head Red and Black, 1967

❌SOLD❌   Ampeg ASB-1 Devil Bass Scroll Head Red and Black, 1967

The Ampeg ASB-1 Devil Bass, and its fretless sibling the AUSB-1 was built by Ampeg designer Mike Roman from late 1966 to 1967. It featured the typical Ampeg ‘Scroll Head’ design, heavily influenced by traditional upright acoustic basses. However, that’s about as far as similarities with acoustic basses went.

❌SOLD❌ G&L SB-2 USA Solidbody Electric Bass Sunburst, 2007

❌SOLD❌   G&L SB-2 USA Solidbody Electric Bass Sunburst, 2007

Introduced in 1998, the G&L SB-2 bass represents a blending of Leo Fender’s two major bass designs into what’s now called a P-J configuration. The P-J concept appeared in the 1970’s as bassists, guitarists and third party companies sought ways to extend the sounds of their instruments. For bassists, an obvious step was to give a Precision Bass a Jazz Bass bridge pickup, hence the P-J designation. This setup was immediately popular and has worked its way into many production and custom instruments.

❌SOLD❌ Hofner 500/1 Violin “Beatle” Bass Sunburst, 1968

❌SOLD❌   Hofner 500/1 Violin "Beatle" Bass Sunburst, 1968

The Hofner 500/1 was for some years one of the most recognizable instruments in the world because of its use by Paul McCartney, during The Beatles and in his solo career. Introduced in 1956, the Hofner 500/1 and its close relatives quickly caught on in the European market, partly on their own merits and partly because imported US made instruments were difficult to get and very expensive.

❌SOLD❌ Fender Jazz Bass American Original 60s Olympic White 2017

❌SOLD❌   Fender Jazz Bass American Original 60s Olympic White 2017

Here is a Fender Jazz Bass American Original 60’s in an Olympic White Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish like the 60’s originals, and in great shape. Fender introduced the Jazz Bass in 1960 as the ‘Deluxe’ but quickly changed the name to the ‘Jazz Bass’. The aim was to target a group who hadn’t fully moved away from acoustic instruments – jazz players, with a narrower neck and tighter, more focused pickup response.
