It's Ampeg, Jim, but not as we know it ...

I'm sure it'll come as a massive surprise to absolutely no-one that I'm quite familiar with Ampeg's range of amusingly named early 70s MIJ guitars & basses.

There were 2 basses in the lineup, the other being a P copy called the Little Stud. Wonder which one sold better?

What a mess. They couldn't have just copied the Tele headstock?

[Bassassin]

I suppose they were trying to do something different & give their "Studs" an identity rather than leave them as straight copies. All of them had the same headstock.

I don't mind the headstock, but the pup surrounds are a bit naff.
