Description

The Ampeg ADA4 Dan Armstrong Lucite Bass Reissue is a mesmerizing blend of vintage charm and modern innovation, honoring the iconic design first introduced in the late 1960s. This electric bass is not just an instrument; it's a statement piece, boasting a see-through acrylic body that captures the audience's attention even before you play the first note. The clarity of the acrylic polymer body is matched by the clarity of its sound, offering a unique visual and auditory experience.

The ADA4 features a hard maple neck with a 30" scale and a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard, allowing for smooth playability and full two-octave access. The standout feature of this bass is its interchangeable pickups, crafted by Kent Armstrong, which provide a wide range of tonal possibilities. The Tone control cleverly mixes treble and bass coils, enabling you to tailor your sound to any musical setting, from bright and punchy to deep and warm.

This reissue stays true to its roots while integrating modern enhancements, such as the Grover nickel die-cast tuners and a rosewood bridge with compensated brass saddles. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the Ampeg ADA4 delivers both in style and substance, making it a must-have for bass enthusiasts and collectors alike.
