I can't stand the nut area. It is a terrible design IMO, not slanting the fretboard with the nut, it just looks unfinished to me. Its also a much smaller fan, with the B only being 35.5 inch compared to the 37 inch of a Dingwall, would it really have the same effect? Get a Dingwall if you want fanned frets, they may not have done it first but they have certainly done it best. The combustion models are ridiculously affordable, more expensive than the Ibanez but the extra would be worth it for me.

Stunning indeed! I can only hope mine turns out that well

Do ACG still sell their filter preamps modules seperately?

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1425976139' post='2712839'] Not normally fussed by walnut but it is a very pretty (and surprisingly large) cut of it! [/quote] And that is what it looks like dry. Just wait until it is oiled! The figuring is going to be insane

So, my big block of claro walnut has arrived from California, and looks like it is big enough for a 1 piece body and a 1 piece neck!

I'll be in Birmingham

Providing ticket prices aren't silly, I'll be in Birmingham

it can't be a serious offer, no way. Surely? Must be up for sale again soon due to a non-paying bidder...

woo I came extremely close to buying this, I'm glad it has found a home! Really interested to hear what it sounds like

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1424568035' post='2697936'] That is going to be one very pretty looking bass! Picked a great cut of buckeye for the top too, just the right amount of 'in your faceness' about it. [/quote] That is exactly why I chose it. Some Buckeye is just too much, but I love the waves and colours of this piece, and no bookmatching!

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1424559136' post='2697799'] Be a nice Chrimbo present for you. [/quote] I am hoping it will be more of a Halloween present

Nine months or so I reckon, so should be a 2015 delivery

They have some superb suppliers, thats for sure One piece Buckeye Burl is not something you see too often, and I fell in love with that Walnut as soon as I was shown it.
