Ampeg AMG100, ADA4
At booth #5776, Hall B, Ampex will unveil its AMG100 electric guitar
line and Dan Armstrong "see-through" ADA4 bass. Offering nearly the same
specifications as the ultra thin ADA6 (albeit crafted from traditional
vintage electric guitar tone woods instead of clear acrylic), the AMG100
is available in three versions: AMG100 BLD ($949.99, list; $729.99,
MAP), featuring a lightweight swamp-ash body with vintage blonde finish
and single-ply black pick guard; AMG100 CH ($699.99, list; $529.99 MAP),
with its lightweight mahogany body sporting a vintage cherry finish and
laminated black pick guard; and AMG100 BK ($599.99, list; $449.99, MAP),
featuring an alder body with black finish and tortoise-shell pick guard.
The ADA4's ($1,899.99, list; $1,399.99, MAP) maple neck features 24
frets inlaid into an Indian rosewood fingerboard, which, when combined
with the diamond-cut acrylic double cutaway body, allows a full
two-octave access clear of the bass's ultrathin body. The re-issue
benefits from an improved bolt-on neck joint, as well as a solid
rosewood bridge with compensated brass saddles.
