An undisputed icon of 1970s design and innovation, this 1971 Ampeg Dan Armstrong Lucite Bass features a striking, transparent solid acrylic body that delivers massive sustain, unique weight, and undeniable stage presence. Designed in collaboration with guitar guru Dan Armstrong, this transparent marvel utilizes interchangeable pickup units allowing players to swap out single-coil and dual-coil configurations to instantly transition between bright, punchy articulation and deep, thunderous low-end growl. The bolt-on maple neck boasts a comfortable, fast-action profile topped with a bound rosewood fingerboard, offering smooth playability and vintage charm all the way up the register. This vintage instrument comes complete with a protective gig bag, preserving a rare and highly collectible piece of rock history that has been gigged, loved, and kept in remarkably solid playing condition. While its transparent aesthetic turns heads under any stage lights, its true magic lies in the dense, piano-like clarity and unique harmonic resonance that only a genuine vintage Lucite body can produce. Whether you are adding a crown jewel to a vintage collection or seeking a distinct, cutting tone for the studio, this Ampeg classic is an absolute standout.
