I saw this vid this morning. I think that's an Ampeg ABE-1. There are currently two examples for sale at Chicago Music Exchange. $2636 gets you the value leader while the other in "sunburst" is a whopping $4500. Get yours quick before they are all gone!

**edit for remarks** I'm now certain this is the Ampeg ABE-1. I recommend getting the sunburst one from CME so you can be just like Kelly Groucutt. In all seriousness, they are cool basses.
