    Good point, but I did say, "many luthiers", not all I believe Warwick, for one example, are entirely CNC these days too, however, they are more than happy to accommodate extra custom work, they just create new CNC files as per the need, their custom shop prices certainly cover it... I was just trying to state that It is rare for small builders using CNC to veer heavily away from their norm is all.

    Absolutely, Alan has always been more than happy to entertain ideas on further customisation, something that is only possible due to him doing EVERYTHING without CNC. Many luthiers out there use CNC for a lot of the work, then finish things off by hand, which means they can only build from templates and are way less flexible - nothing like that happening at ACG Towers!

    I replaced two BF One10s with a single LFSys Monza, for similar reasons. It's been a while since the change and I'm still absolutely delighted every time I plug in, regardless of what volume I'm at! The build quality on the LFSys cabs is far superior in my opinion too, so you'll be getting something built to last. If you regularly go LOUD with your Two10, I would look at the Monaco, as the 12" speaker will give you more, but for me, so far, the 1x10 Monza is way louder than what I was getting with my two One10s. As noted above, you're not comparing apples with apples if you're considering a Super Compact vs an LFSys cab. The crossover and additional mid/high driver of the LFSys, will really bring out more of the nuances from fretless playing. As far as the difference between the LFSys and a BF BigBaby, more like apples and apples, the BigBaby seems to be truly FRFR, and the LFSys is too, yet somehow, it's subtly more suited to bass guitar, it's still a bass cab, not a PA speaker. So in summary, I'd go for an LFSys cab Cheers, Ewan

    This build diary is WAY overdue, as it approaches the last leg of the journey. As most of you know, I'm a HUGE fan of Alan's work, having played nothing but ACGs for over 15 years now! I have nipped and tucked a lot of what I need and want in a bass, as I've gone along, and as I've developed as a bassist. I've settled on 31.5" scale as my preferred scale length, having gone 34", to 36", to 34" to 33" on the way, and I'm officially a 6 string player, who dabbles on 4. Anyway, as with a lot of my more recent basses with ACG, this started as a sketch. I'm a huge fan of Alan's Finn SC Classic shape, having owned several, but I felt that it was a little large for a shorter scale, so the crayons came out >> The spec then started to creep >> And here's the spec we came up with >> Sona 6 String 31.5" Scale Hidden Set-neck Construction Spalted/Flame Sycamore Top Mineral Stained White Limba Body Wenge Accent Veneer Ash/Wenge 5 PIece Neck Plain Wenge Fingerboard Body and Neck all stained Black, with a kinda of reverse linear black burst on the top ACG RFB Pickups in 40mm casings, bridge pickup in a measured "sweet spot", neck pickup, not too far forward East Uni-pre 4K Preamp Hipshot Type A Bridge - Black Gotoh Resolite Tuners - Black 50mm Wide Nut 16.5mm String Spacing Flat/0 Radius Fingerboard Work commenced early 2025. More to come.

    I used to rehearse there back in the late 90s/early 00s. I'm the reason they had ABMs. They used to have a full Ampeg 8x10 valve stack in each room, and I kept destroying them 😎 I used a lot of effects back then, and th Ampegs couldn't take it. I suggested they got in some ABMs, and they did. They were brilliant too.
