I am selling this extremely rare unique AMPEG Dan Armstrong EBONY Clear Lucite FRETLESS BASS guitar! It is an extremely rare Fretless Bass Guitar and most important, it is the unique "Black Beauty" AMPEG Ebony Fretless Bass Guitar model which was Dan Armstrong's favorite Guitar! This guitar comes complete with all of the known upgrades and known fixes determined by the analysis of the first group of AMPEG Dan Armstrong guitars sold including the guitar upgrades determined by monitoring all of the information received from the AMPEG customer feedback and quality control program. It also come complete with the original 1970 AMPEG Dan Armstrong form fitted bass guitar case (see pictures).The term "Black Beauty" means that this Bass Guitar has an EBONY Fretless fingerboard, a black headstock, a black thumb rest, a black saddle, and a Black pickguard. Most of the AMPEG Dan Armstrong Fretless Bass Guitars produced have a light brown fingerboard, a wood grain headstock, a brown thumb rest, a brown wood saddle, and a wood grain pickguard. AMPEG only produced about 140 fretless bass guitars, and only a few, approximately four or five of the fretless bass guitars were Black Beauty models.The clear solid Lucite body on this guitar, the electronics and wiring, the neck, and all of the other original parts on this guitar have been carefully inspected and found to be in 100% original and "EXCELLENT" condition! By the looks of the hardly worn frets on the neck, it seems that this guitar was hardly used and kept in storage for many years.The neck is in excellent condition! It is straight with no twists or warps, and the truss rod has been checked and is in excellent working condition. Lastly, the neck has the original Grover Vintage bass tuners and all four tuners are all stamped "Pat Pend" on the top of each tuner, and stamped "USA", on the bottom of each tuner. The neck comes complete with the original truss rod cover and the original NUT.
I tested and checked everything on this guitar and there are no problems whatsoever! In addition, It LOOKS and SOUNDS awesome with the original AMPEG Dan Armstrong 1970 Pickup and with all of the original wiring, POTS, SWITCH, CAPS, Output jack and knobs.
This guitar is being sold As-Is with NO RETURNS! You will not be disappointed. Please see all of my Positive Feedback's to gain confidence in the accuracy of the description and condition of this item, so please check all the pictures, and ask all questions before you bid or purchase.
If you encounter a serious problem with this item, or if you feel it is Not-As-Described for any good valid reason, then a full refund, including the original shipping charge will be provided and the guitar will be accepted for a return as per the eBay return policy as long as its returned within one week.PLEASE NOTE:
The reason I sell with a "NO-RETURNS" selling policy, is to try and stop buyers from returning items after they have used them for a long period of time, which can be as long as six weeks according to eBay return policy, and then returning the items simply because they changed their mind or found a better item that fits their needs, and with no actual problem at all. If there is a problem with this item, then a full refund will always be provided.For example, I sold a $4000 vintage guitar and after the buyer used it for over six weeks on tour, he decided to return it even though there was nothing wrong with the guitar. When I received the returned guitar, I could see that the guitar was heavily used with many smudges and light scratches, but most important, I could see that the guitar was taken apart, and most troubling, I could not be 100% sure that all of the original parts were returned with the guitar. When an expensive vintage guitar is sold, it should be quickly inspected and tested in the home, and if there is an issue or any type of problem, it should be returned quickly within 3 to 7 days maximum. It should not be used or tested on the road for an extended period of time, and then returned for no valid reason. I am sure everyone can understand this point!Therefor, I actually do accept returns as long as there is a problem or issue with the guitar and it is returned within a week, and most important, that the guitar has not been dismantled.I offer FREE SHIPPING with this guitar! Take Care and Good Luck!
