Ampeg Armstrong Plexi Bass: A 1967 Design Brought Into The 21st Century

Ampeg's Armstrong Plexi Bass is a reissue of a 1967 design, and this time it's back for good. There are a lot of structural improvements to prevent damage, but one of the coolest features is the 2 slide-in interchangeable pickups. Ampeg plans to expand the range of pickup choices in the future, but for now we think two will do just fine.

The original idea behind the plexi was for sustain. The Plexi Bass is indeed really heavy, but Ampeg will soon bring out the lighter wooden version, which will also be lighter on the wallet. Hear more of the specs in the Gearwire video.
