Sorry for the crap photo. I'll take more if there's any interest. I only have the humbucker type pickup. Case included.

I wasn't aware that Ampeg was making lefties of these. Would like to see more photos.

Don't recall seeing a pickguard on these before. Is that custom made? Looks good though...

nope, they all have pickguards. the woodgrain was supposed to be funny in contrast to the acrylic body.

from what i've been told, it's one of two lefties made.

I've had it for about 1.5 years, got it new.

It kinda sounds like a Music Man, but more "vintage-y", whatever that means.

Better pics, sort of. It's tricky trying to get pics of a clear bass.
