Dread Bass Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Well i have ordered a new bass. This will likely be my last custom for a while. I have realised that ACG is the way for me. The choice was simple; Alan's basses, customer service and drive is second to none. This will be my fourth ACG after i bought the first second hand, followed by my custom seven string then a Graft which has sadly departed to make way for this order. The spec is as follows: Krell Singlecut 6 string fretless Black Limba body with Macassar ebony top and a sycamore accent 7 piece asymmetrical neck going Wenge/Ash/Walnut/Wenge/Walnut/Ash/Wenge Lava Bubinga fingerboard Black hardware ACG hipshot bridge Gotoh GB350 machine heads ACG EQ03 4k preamp Overwound singlecoil in the bridge fatboy in the neck Wooden ramp/pickup cover. Pictures to follow in due course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Bass Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Not quite. Its going to have some semi fret lines on the top of the neck and some under the highest stings under the C and G strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
