    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.

    That ACG is amazing!

    These little cabs are ridiculously good aren't they!
  12. eude
    Absolutely stunning!

    Oooooooft! Congratulations dude!

    Lovely looking bass dude! Please be sure to share pics of the new one when it lands!

    Is that better or worse than 791.972mm? Weird choice, but might be based on available string lengths, as I would guess the reverse headstock might let you have a full scale E string without any of the wound string on the tuner? I doubt the reverse headstock will make much difference if any to the tension, as the witness points on the nut and bridge are where that's determined. It's a rather tasty looking bass though, I have to say!

    I don't think you'll be disappointed, I'm over the moon with mine. I nearly went for the bigger Monaco, but I'm glad I went for the Monza, I really am.

    I've always like DR Sun Beams on a fretless bass, but I did miss a bit of edge. I really like the Lo Riders too, but found them a little too much. Newtone Nickel Hex Cores seem to sit nicely in between those two DR sets to me. La Bella RX Nickels work nicely on fretless too.

    Looks like that's going on my Xmas list then!
  19. eude
    Oh, very cool. Is it useful to avoid having to detune then?
  20. eude
    Absolutely delighted it came out so well, and no surprise Jon showed what a good lad he was too

    Interesting, but ultimately very frustrating I believe that an Uberhorn 4 owner had to do similar, I remember reading about it on here somewhere, ah, here you go >> Really hope it can get sorted without too much pain, such a beautiful instrument! Eude

    +1 for the AC Guitars Mule. I've managed to lay my hands on a couple of them, a fretted 5 and a fretless 4. Both of them were marvellous, and the fretless 4 really had that Rob Allen, mini Double Bass thing going on. Here's me noodling pointlessly on the fretted 5 >> https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj7-DXOA3NI/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link There are some lovely demos on the link already posted above too, https://acguitars.co.uk/mule/ Cheers, Eude

    Yeah, that's definitely a problem on a lot of amps. GK seem to have pretty honest volume controls too.

    I would recommend this unit too. I have one and it's very easy to use, works like a selection of stomp boxes if you leave it in manual mode, no need to hook it up to a computer to unleash its potential. There's one for sale on here right now for a good price too.
