My RetroB 5er n'all

I have it some of my newer ACGs too >> I think it serves the purpose of creating a nice aesthetic that echos the contour on the front, and also removes weight from the body where it isn't necessary. It certainly is comfy too. Eude

I have one of their Mighty Plug practice amps >> https://www.nuxefx.com/mighty-plug.html I have to say, it's bloody brilliant! The effects are the same as the ones on that wee amp, as are the IRs, although there's only two amp heads. It works great for just plugging in and playing, you can also sync it to your phone as a Bluetooth audio device and play along with whatever audio you have on there, you can even jam along with YouTube. And finally, it works as an interface for recording too, and it sounds really really good. I am very much tempted by the MG-30 too! Eude

What an absolutely stunning collection! The ACG and the Le Fay are my favourites of the bunch. I've got a fair few basses myself now, I rotate them on a weekly basis to make sure nothing gets neglected... Cheers, Eude

It's a small builder I've never heard of called Nandito Art. I imagine the planning and glue up of that would be an absolute nightmare for any but the most experienced jigsaw enthusiasts. I can't imagine it makes any difference to the sound, I can hear the difference in some wood combos, but as soon as it become a butchers block I expect it's all moot. As an owner of some of @Andyjr1515's work, I think you can be very confident that the neck joint will be gorgeous, he seems to know what he's doing Eude

How about something like this?... 😉

Voodoo.

Another +1 for Rockboards here. Got mine for my birthday Dec 2020. Really really really well made, and very good value for money too. Not my final layout, waiting on one more special pedal, and I'm going to sell my Bass Big Muff and replace with with a Green Muff Reissue. Also, I think I need a smaller tuner. Cheers, Eude

WOW! That is incredible! I'll have to go get my micro ACG out again today now. Congratulations.

The bass, the neck and the joint have been rock solid too. I love this bass @Andyjr1515, thank you for bringing it back to life! Eude

Ooooooh, I very much like that! Watching with intent. Eude

Lovely stuff!

WOW! That is absolutely stunning! I was lucky to have a go on a 4 string LeFay a few years back, it felt and sounded wonderful. Enjoy! Eude

He he To be fair, Les Claypool's first Carl Thompson has 29 frets and it was made in 1980! Eude

Yup, that was my thought too. I read the article and there's nothing special about it at all, even the concept of a short scale bass on a Strat style body with a traditional Strat pickup layout has been done before, commercially by Landing Bass Guitars, literally for YEARS. Reverse headstock? Done. Tremelo? Done. 25 frets? Nope, done by Sandberg on their 25th anniversary instruments. The only thing that would've made this interesting is if Fender had actually made it, which I thought was the original plan. That would've been quite a departure for Fender from the usual constant rehashing of the same tired old thing again and again. Eude

Wow @Andyjr1515 that is absolutely stunning!

WOW Binky! That is some collection there! What a stunning new addition too. Congratulations Eude

My 2018 ACG Finn SC Classic 6 string. Can we use the term "spirit bass" out loud here? Eude

Yup, I've never seen or heard of an unwound C string!

Speak to Neil at Newtone Strings, they start winding strings at 0.018 and up, so I expect you'll get what you need from them. They are also the best strings on the market in my opinion Good luck! Eude

That is one hell of a sexy instrument Binky! I'll bet you can't wait to get your hands on it, and I know from experience it will play as good as it looks <rant>This kind of instrument is always going to repel some bassists, but isn't it funny that you don't see those of us who love this kind of thing dropping in helpful comments like "boring" or "bloody hell, not another one" on NBD posts containing more old school basses...</rant> Also, as a Salace owner myself I can confirm it is one of the comfiest instruments I've ever played, if not thee most. It does all that while still looking like a proper sexy single cut, which I reckon is quite an achievement. Anyway, please let us know when it arrives mate, and congratulations for when it comes! Eude

That is going to be one sexy little bass! As an owner of an ACG Micro bass myself, I know you're in for a treat. Can't wait to see more! Eude

Now that is VERY cool!

Loving this bass. If only we weren't in the midst of a pandemic, I'd be round the moment it landed to have a go! Eude
