I dont know if any of these manufacturers ever look at this stuff... If they dont they ought to, But I digress... Ahmmm!

A proper reissue of the Ampeg AMB-1 for starters

Hey Fender, have you noticed the price of vintage Guild basses lately, Im no expert mind you, But you might sell a couple of reissue M-85,s heres a hint, offer a "solid" and a "semi hollow". Perhaps Lakland will pickup that idea and run with it, again... hint hint!

Its probably all just wishing in one hand and crappin in the other, But if I were in charge of Bassdom, these fine instruments would live again.
 
What a cool idea for a thread :), don't think I've seen this one before (no, I'm not being sarcastic either :smug:).

1. Westone Thunder IIIA (later model with two soapbars).

2. Ernie Ball "Custom Shop" 1976 Stingray (2 band vintage pre-amp, slab body, nitro lacquer, string mutes etc.).

3. Aria SB Elite "Black & Gold" Series (what a great shape these basses had)!

I could go on ;) .....
 
Nope, he's talking the ones that were made for export without the contours in the early '60's. Entwhistle got his mitts on a few of them and swore by them.

I'd like to see a Gibson EB-2 and an American Standard Fretless Precision come back.

Yes. All three need to come back, and I'll bet they eventually will.
