    This electric bass is in excellent condition. Current owner’s father purchased directly from Ampeg in 1965 (first year of manufacture) - he was a professional musician and member of Local 802 Musicians Union NYC and Local 47 Los Angeles. Has a removable Ampeg
    shoulder harness which Ampeg built for him and an original telescoping ‘built in’ pole to raise it up an extra 22 inches. This cello-sized body is also fitted with a solid maple neck and ebony fingerboard, for the traditional playability of an upright bass, but packed into a smaller package.   Ampeg baby bass was made in 1965, year of first manufacture - from 1965-1969, serial numbers ran to 092000. Has been in hard case storage for 20 years - in excellent condition. It has minor rubbing on the bottom of the neck and on the shoulder harness, and a few small scrapes on top of scroll.
