[quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1419112616' post='2636799'] That is one stunning looking bass! Going a little green here *envy* [/quote] Thank you matey, spent some stolen moments playing it today, its wonderful!

This thread's gone a little quiet? Here's something racy to get it going again... My ACG Krell SC E Type 5 string Eude

Sorry for neglecting this thread, I really haven't had much time, but I got some proper noodling time tonight. I should be able to get some sound clips sorted very soon too. For now though, here's a bit of porn >> Eude

[quote name='TraceAmp' timestamp='1418655655' post='2632013'] The build quality is really good, build like the Genz Benz Streamliner Amps. The Amp chassis is made from metal, only the backside is plastic. Some knobs are illuminated, when activ: The Sound is a bit like "vintage", a lot of low end and nice mids. I like it to compare the sound with the Streamliner, but the Veyron has the better equalizer, because this one is easier to use. The ability to select the center frequency of the mids is very helpful. [/quote] Thanks mate, sounds very interesting! Eude

Cool, I like the look of this! How's the build quality? My experience of Behringer stuff previously hasn't been that positive, but they're built to a price. Also, what's the sound like? Cheers, Eude

[quote name='busccini' timestamp='1418399583' post='2629935'] i gona start a new diary for the next one on this days . cheers [/quote] Glad to hear it!

[quote name='busccini' timestamp='1418394767' post='2629880'] i chose koa because that mid tone , due to the hard honduras rosewood got nice round tone sound better then i think, the dual coils from nordstrabd are a beast i play it 99 % in pasive mode , gona try to make some soundclip ,i order a second bass already will be ready in march 2015 [/quote] Brilliant, thank you for your response. What's the spec on your next one? Eude

Wow! Well, how does it play? I bet it sounds pretty nice too Congrats mate. Eude

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1417626372' post='2622425'] It's pretty and menacing looking. No easy achievement I imagine! [/quote] Ha ha, thanks mate! It's certainly bad ass

[quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1417625812' post='2622416'] I absolutely love that....it has changed my perception about what I actually like in an ACG bass. [/quote] It is quite different from the norm, quite aggressive looking, but it sits beautifully on the lap too, incredibly versatile instrument. Eude

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1417625586' post='2622410'] wow that sounds pretty comprehensive... would be cool to hear some samples when you get round to it [/quote] Will try my best mate, might take a week or so, watch this space!

Ha ha, you're welcome to pop over whenever dude

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1417623209' post='2622375'] That looks fantastic... suitably different as well... Does this have the fancy pick ups and filer EQ? [/quote] Wish I could've gone Uber, but sadly out of my price range, [i]for now[/i]... This has a PB split coil in the neck position and an RFB MM style pickup with coil switching in the "Sweet Spot". The preamp is the new DFM one, but without the high mid/treble filter module, this one instead has two mid filters stacks, one per pickup and a passive tone with various switching options: low mid boost, treble boost, active/passive and series/parallel/singlecoil for the RFB pickup. Should keep me busy... Eude

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1417621652' post='2622348'] Can we get some sound samples please? [/quote] "Patience Danielsan, Focus Power". But yeah, I'll try and get something done soon, still at work with the bass sat beside me in its lovely Fusion F1 bag/case. Its killing me not being able to just play it! Eude

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1417615240' post='2622249'] Looking good!! [/quote] Thank you mate

All done. Not plugged her in yet, but man alive this is some bass. VERY VERY happy man right now. Eude

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1417462672' post='2620638'] After a money scare recent this went up for sale, but something else is sold and I get to keep this. Still does the round at rehearsals. The 33" scale and the weight make for long playing periods an absolute breeze. I will be changing the passive wiring that Alan prescribes to the traditional Vol, Vol and Tone. The rotary system is nice but something about either or systems bug me. And series switching isn't my thing at all. [/quote] Excellent news mate! You still never posted some pics though Eude

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1417010174' post='2616030'] That's a lovely top right there... [/quote] Meant to post it sooner to "help" you with your decision, seems you came to the right one already though

I'm very partial to a bit of Ziricote Here's mine...

Ziricote!

[quote name='SimonH' timestamp='1416920108' post='2614987'] Big ACG love here. I've been thinking along those lines. I'm gonna have to try one! [/quote] I can't recommend them enough

I'm a flat board convert too, thanks to ACG. Just feels right and helps promote "proper technique" too, I find with the traditional Fender style radius, I end up gripping the neck like a baseball bat, with my thumb over the top. That combined with an asymmetrical neck profile, like BassBunny says, "heaven" Eude

[quote name='synthaside' timestamp='1416843672' post='2614169'] I'm in the good books at the moment , for her anniversary new smart phone that she had wanted for ages i fixed up a Corsa for her so she no longer had to share my crappy 307 when i'm not driving to work. Unless anyone has a telebass inside my budget maybe i hold off and bank the gifts [/quote] I think one of these would be inside your budget >> http://basschat.co.uk/topic/196521-custom-telecaster-bass-build/ Eude

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1416827627' post='2613886'] Got to agree with the above really... £1500 would go a long way with someone like ACG.[/quote] + 1,000,000

I'll second that motion. How about looking at a custom bass, something you can pour a bit of yourself into? You could see about basing some of the look, feel and sound on your beloved t-bird? £1500 should give you enough moulah to start talking to some British based luthiers. Either that, or maybe you should think about something a little more exotic? All the basses you've tried are more in the "trad" side of things. A trip to Bass Gear or Bass Direct might offer you a different experience. My vote would be custom though Eude
