We use a Zoom Q3 to record all of our rehearsals. It's enough for us to hear each instrument clearly. Can send you over some recordings so you can get an idea of the audio quality if you wish.

Polytune mini 2 does the job for me down to low A when needed.

Am I right in saying I list my bass and my valuation, and receive offers only by pm? [/quote] Yup. Just put on the ad stating you only wish for a trade so you don't get people looking for cash sale.

Last few gigs I've been to I've been surprised at how little time there was in between bands. To be fair it's been a while since I've saw a "big" band.

Sounds really nice! Will this be at Moffat next year? I may fancy a shot...never played a headless short scale!

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1449198749' post='2921503'] Marilyn Manson - I was never a fan, but I liked a handful of songs and mostly went for the theatrics. Hideous, slightly stomach-churning. When he slashed himself with a bottle and urged the crowd to spit on his wounds, it was time for me to leave. This was after he had gobbed on his paying fans umpteen times already. [/quote] I saw him play not too long ago (last year I think?) in Glasgow and I think he's learned that people don't really want to see that. There were many theatrics but nothing quite as...mental as that. T'was a good show.

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1448910623' post='2919133'] I'd love to hear some decent demos of these beautiful basses. [/quote] There's quite a few ACG demos on youtube by Colin Cunningham (Coco's Bassment). There's a few other videos on there too I'm sure. I've got one of my Recurve too.

Kev's new Alpher bass. Annoying he picked out just about every spec I would want in one of their basses.

I use the MXR pedal with my basses which are both fairly high on the output (ACG Uber Spec (9volt) and a Dingwall NG-2 (18volt Darkglass Preamp)). I've never had any issues at all with it.

I'll be there as well. Just hope I can get funds for the weekend before they sell out.

Most people I know don't bother with any form of pedals. If it wasn't for the fact I use some weird sounds in my band I wouldn't bother with mine.

It looks pretty ugly but equally ugly as the Gibson it's mimicking to my eyes.

Considering I'm not even as old as all of the t-shirts mentioned so far I reckon I'm out of this competition.

[quote name='The-Ox' timestamp='1448536154' post='2916191'] just sent off my deposit for my custom Krell [/quote] Wayhey. We need specs!

My ACG, Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 and an EBS 4x10. Best sound I've ever had.

There was a few things that drew me towards buying an ACG. Originally I just fancied something different than my usual (Warwicks) and ended up getting one second hand which I absolutely loved. It just seemed to fit me perfectly sonically and visually. There was however an issue with the bass that the seller (who I wont name publicly) and Alan contacted me and spent the best part of 2-3 days helping me with the issue and getting my money back. He wasn't obliged to do this by any means which is something I found rather exceptional. So customer service was already second to none (and I wasn't even technically a customer at this point!). I'm just basing this on my ACG. Sound wise I haven't ever played a bass this versatile. The filter preamps do have a bit of a learning curve but if you put in the time and learn how to use it you will be able to get just about whatever sound you need. All of the ACG's I've played seem to balance perfectly and seem very comfortable to play as far as the body shape goes. Generally I prefer smaller bodies basses (hence why I've had so many Warwicks in the past). The body shapes aren't always to peoples tastes which is fair enough but that's an individual thing for each person. and finally... ...they're gorgeous to look at.

Very nice! The wait time wasn't half bad either really!

Bit skint at the mo but shall get my ticket soon as I can Thoroughly enjoyed it last year

[quote name='tyler.bass' timestamp='1448318556' post='2914509'] , bought it cause of Jon Stockman, Karnivool's bassist who has the greatest bass sound ever for this genre. he plays a thumb though. [/quote] He also plays a Corvette.

I use Elixirs on my ACG but can't get them to fit on my other bass as they don't make them long enough. I like really fresh sounding strings (easy to take away noise than it is to add it in if required in my books.). Elixirs will last me the best part of 9+ months before I even really think about replacing them. Any other strings I've used however get to that stage within a few weeks/days depending on the brand. Rotosounds and Ernie Ball strings are too dull almost out of the packet for my liking.

My personal choice in that price bracket would be a second hand Warwick of Spector.

A band called Yashin. Saw them support a band a few years ago and my God it was just awful.
