I'm so glad it's not a headless (MNV or the like...). Brilliant, as usual for a Leduc...

That's mine indeed, thanks for digging out the thread!

That could be arranged. I have the little sister of this one as a 5 string fretless. Would happily take part in a 3 way swap! :-) I also have a six string version which is not going anywhere. Precious...

Is it that bass? http://archive.acguitars.co.uk/portfolio/0147-finn-5-headless/ (a Finn, not a Recurve)

The tolex issue on the cab is quite common. Mine has the exact same problem, despite being fairly well looked after. Probably someone has been a bit cheap in the glue department... ;-) This is an awesome piece of kit. I usually leave the cab at home (doubles as a bedside table...), and carry the head around to drive bigger cabs. I've seen a number of condescending smiles when I arrive at a gig, only to see a similar number of jaw dropping when they hear what this tiny thing can push. Have a bump on me!

Pm'd.

I met Sebastien Aquilina a couple of times, and had the opportunity to admire his work. Beautiful woods, perfect finish, and a range of sounds that are second to none but ACG, in my opinion. The only reason I don't own one of his basses is that he wouldn't build a headless one!

Splendid piece of kit. If I didn't have one already, I'd be all over it! Probably the most subtle compressor on this planet.

This was my first *very good* bass, back in 88. I'm now playing a much more expensive instrument, but the build quality of the Jack is still incredible for the price. And I'm definitely keeping mine, even if I don't play it much anymore. Lightweight, tight sound, a real pleasure to play. The 5 string version is quite disapointing though. One tiny trick: disconnecting the LED inside the control cavity increases the battery life ten-fold!

Three requests for this, so putting it on hold.

So here it is: - An Acoustic 116 combo, the amp itself is long gone. 1977 or 1978 vintage. [url="http://acoustic.homeunix.net/twiki/bin/view/Acoustic/BassCombo116"]http://acoustic.home...ic/BassCombo116[/url] - A Montarbo "head", extracted from a combo. Around 100W if memory serves well. The whole thing has been sitting in various cupboards/garages for the past 10+ years, and I'm not going to move it again. Pick up from Cambridge on the 27th of September the latest. The price? £0. Free. Grab it and run! I'll try and put pics later in the week.

This is definitely a 34" scale. I own two Force 6, and could not simply imagine playing on something else... Tone, ease of play... A kind of perfection. Except maybe for the weight. Headless bump!

My first *good* bass... Amazingly easy to play, light, great variety of sound. With a small adapter, you can use regular, single ball strings, And if you take care of disconnecting the battery LED, the battery can last months, if not years. Still have it, though not using it much (I became a 6 stringer many years ago). Bought a 5 string Jack at one point, but didn't like it (muddy B ). Bump for a fantastic value for money!

At all. Specially as I have the two cabs oriented horizontally... But I've never been very keen on aesthetics anyway...

[quote name='nomis' post='1287570' date='Jun 30 2011, 12:36 PM']you can have a bump on me! great little practice amp![/quote] I'd say it can be a lot more than a practice amp. The SVT210AV is a bit shy on the volume side, but coupled with another cab, this amp really shines. I use mine with an additional TC BC210 in relatively big pubs, and have no problem taming any of the other band members...

[quote name='Rumble' post='1180711' date='Mar 29 2011, 12:09 PM']How're you getting on with the Status, Marc?[/quote] Very happy with it. Did the last 3 gigs with it (only for 3 or 4 songs at a time), and it's definitely a killer. It has this incredible piano-like feeling, really fantastic when slapped.

May I add that Andy is a top guy to deal with?

I've used its big sister (Lag Force 6) for over ten years now, and I can confirm this is a *very* nice instrument. You can literally hear the wood, and I've only received compliments on the way this bass sounds on stage. Now if only I could find another 6...
