Jeff29361 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Seen this online, obviously an ampeg scroll copy but I can't seem to find one that matches, any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) Could be a modded original Ampeg, like this one at Charlie Chandler's Guitar Experience? New ill-fitting scratchplate to allow two J pickups. The control placements certainly look similar. Eastwood make a copy but it isn't one of those Edited April 17, 2023 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Haven't Eastwood had a copy of this in production for yonks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but it’s one of their “less authentic” copies. Looks nothing like the bass in the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sloppy work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 The only vintage copy of this I'm aware of is a Fujigen/Ibanez from 1972. Never seen one in the wild and probably never made it to the UK. This is the only known pic & the OP's ain't one of these! I'd go for butchered real Ampeg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Pity the photo in the OP doesn't show the top of the headstock... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
