Up for sale, a 1990 Greco APB-1000 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This premium Greco model, produced at the Fujigen factory, is a Japanese-built iteration of the Ampeg Dan Armstrong platform, featuring a transparent acrylic (Lucite) body, three-piece maple/walnut neck with a rosewood fretboard, and “Rock-Bullet Bass” humbucker with blade pole pieces. Even the faux wood pickguard is a faithful recreation, with "Spirits of the Live" text where one would otherwise see "Dan Armstrong - Ampeg."
This APB-1000's “Rock-Bullet Bass” humbucker packs a punch, with a full-sounding, aggressive tone that delivers muscular growl and low end rumble while retaining excellent note definition. The two-way mini toggle bypasses the harness and sends the pickup directly to the 1/4" jack for maximum dynamic feel and “cranked” levels at the flip of a switch. This APB-1000 weighs 9lbs 6oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-105 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Maple/Walnut/Maple
-Shape: Slender C, measuring .800” 1st fret, .920” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Rosewood, 24-fret, 12” radius
-Frets: Slender, light wear beneath A and D strings on frets 1-7
-Scale Length: 30 1/2”
-Nut: 1.650” (42mm)
-Tuners: Gotoh
-Headstock: Rosewood veneer, Dan Armstrong-style shape and truss rod cover
-Serialization: B0-prefix (neck plate)
Body Specs:
-Pickup: “Rock-Bullet Bass” blade pole humbucker, fixed/non-modular
-Harness: Untouched solder, full-size Japanese pots date to ‘89 and ‘90
-Controls: Volume, Tone, Tone Bypass mini-toggle
-Hardware: Bridge with steel barrel saddles, flat-top knurled knobs
-Plastics: Faux rosewood pickguard with “Spirits of the Live” text (a few stable splits around the jack)
Cosmetic wear on the contoured Lucite body is limited to faint scuffing on top and a handful of minor finish scratches on the back. The smooth gloss on the neck profile is flawless save for a few tiny nicks central to the carve behind frets 2-4 that are not distracting to the palm while fretting.
A gigbag is included.
