Vintage Ampeg AUB/AEB Bass Tailpiece | Reverb

Yes - AMB-1 - thank you!!! It's for AMB-1 000448 - you re-fretted the neck for me a couple years ago. Almost all of the metal parts on that poor bass were corroded - I've replaced all the screws, the pots, and the pickup (with one of yours - thank you) and the input jack (fortunately the...

Hi Bruce - any chance you are up for making another one of those? The height adjusting studs have become fused with the aluminum in one of my basses - I tried like heck to drill them out with no success - I even took it to a machine shop and they turned me away...

Phoenix? I wonder if I know the previous owner - Suzy Tarshia maybe?

Ha - nice catch @anderbass ! Those “pa” speakers are actually a repurposed pair of PF112HLF’s (not too heavy David). I installed speaker stand inserts in the bottom of them - they really make fine sounding pa speakers - very articulate. The two PF112’s combined with my PF-50T are still my...

Another one showed up in my feed this morning. It’s in Japan - no serial number - but maybe an early one with the finish on the neck? Ampeg 1967-1968 AEB-1 Scroll Bass | eBay

So many well preserved beauties have been turning up lately. This example is in Belgium. SN 421 Just don't install the included spare round wound strings ;) Ampeg AEB-1 "Scroll Bass" with original case, paperwork, strap and spare strings | Papa's Shop | Reverb

I just realized that bass - which appears to be a customized Eastwood - is also missing a pot/knob (compared to the stock images I've seen). I'm guessing it has just a volume knob - with the pickup wide open (no cap.) maybe...

I almost grabbed these knobs for us Scroll Bass people - but at the last second - before clicking the "buy it now" button - I realized they are huge (two inches wide!). I got thrown off by the seller labeling them as "Ampeg" knobs. He has 50 of them on ebay (two listings @ a quantity of 25...

Yes - three knobs - three input jacks...

Wow - I really like that one. I vaguely remember the story - but I'm not sure. #067 does seem to appear in the large group photo that was shared here a few weeks ago...

It does look like an Eastwood - with a custom paint job

Send me your address - Ill have one of my carrier pigeons cruise over ;)
