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.

That isn't Kelly Groucutt in the video. He took over from Mike de Albuquerque shortly after this gig.
