[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1377192592' post='2184656'] A mate of mine has started working for them recently, he said there's a re-launch coming soon. [/quote] Re launch with new products?

That is loverly mate. Jon makes beautiful Jazz basses! Eude

Beautiful! You must be one happy camper mate. Eude

If they'd actually just made a proper non-reverse medium scale jag-type thing I think they would probably sell quite a few, I'd certainly be tempted. I think the aesthetic is going to limit the sales enormously, some people will love it, but I suspect most will hate it... Eude

There are worse things to suffer from mate

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1376571611' post='2176217'] I already have an ACG 5'er (custom Recurve SC Classic with the 03 pre) so am very curious to meet a graft and compare the gubbins! I fancied a simpler pre on the fretless still with some control over mids but not in such an intense global way as with the custom ACG pre and I've heard really good and transparent things about the East stuff so wanted to give one a shot [/quote] I've got the exact pre in my 6 string ACG, I don't think you'll be disappointed matey

Nice one Andy, that's a real looker!

Nice specs mate, looking forward to following this one!

Fantastic mate! Can't wait to hear/see more

[quote name='Kees_SoS' timestamp='1375696469' post='2164299'] No problem. I love all that stuff myself, too, as you can probably tell. With this kind of bass, I tend to favour a punchy, middly tone with plenty of 'honk' and some 'growl'. The wenge should enhance the latter characteristic in particular. Also, some luthiers believe wenge to offer greater stability and consistency than maple, which means that even with a 34" scale it should still have a killer B-string. For the rest, I wanted the top to look spectacular, but wanted to limit the higher frequences I might have got with, say, maple, henced the flamed ash. If I should need to add to or deviate from the tonal characteristics of the wood, the Scott Devine circuit should give me everything I need. The main thing I like about it is the mid sweep. Very few amps and onboard preamps offer the tonal possibilities I'm looking for in the high mid range, so I'd actually been looking for something of this nature for a while. The dual concentric knob makes it easy to find the 'sweet spot' and set it to the desired level. What's more, the circuit can be used passively by means of a push-pull switch, which, when in passive mode, also acts as a tone knob. [/quote] [quote name='Kees_SoS' timestamp='1375740282' post='2165140'] Sorry, I only just realised it was you, Ewan ;-) [/quote] Thanks mate, for such a concise reply. I didn't think you'd mind sharing the nitty gritty I may have another bass in the future, and I'm really drawn to your wood combo though, the flamed Ash over Walnut looks amazing! And, yes, it is me

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1375776439' post='2165312'] Dont blame not having any time on the kid. We all know its because ur busy speccing acgs lol [/quote] I wish matey, I really do

[quote name='funkypenguin' timestamp='1375577678' post='2163172'] Good gawd Eude, thats one helluva collection you've now got!! Have to say that 6er of yours is my personal favourite but this one is an absolute beauty! Can you post some soundclips of them all soon?? [/quote] Hey mate, I will try, I promise. Having a 7 month old round the house doesn't leave me much time to do anything these days, never mind anything musical, so it might be a little while yet. Since I made this post, I also received a lovely ACG Skelf Prototype Guitar too! Family photo of all the ACGs very soon, and sound clips to follow when I manage it. Hope you're well bud Eude

Geeky question here mate, but whats the "tonal goals" using this wood combo? Eude

Wow, this is going quickly! Really excited for you mate, I love the Original Series Shape Eude

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1375340360' post='2159879'] After a brief email exchange the Black Limba Recurve has mysteriously morphed into this rather lovely J Type that will collected along with the Finn in a week or so. Mum's the word [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/2881/"]http://www.acguitars...portfolio/2881/[/url] [/quote] Shhhhh

[quote name='Phil White' timestamp='1375435271' post='2161140'] They do listen to bass players, they listen to the ones that helped them with the toneprints, experienced known players with big reputations. Who would you listen to?. As for ugly, do you want to play it or marry it?? [/quote] Fair enough, my real point was that they haven't even replied to any of my emails, which I consider rude, and doesn't paint TC in a good light as far as I'm concerned. I'm not asking them to take my thoughts on board and build me a specific combo, just offering a bit of input from my experience of 22 years of playing, a little "thanks but no thanks" would suffice... I know they involved some pro bass players for the tone prints, which is fair enough, but I think you'll find they asked them for input rather than the other way round, as they were already TC users. As far as the design goes, each to their own, I just think they could've given it a little more thought, there are a lot of nicer designed bits of kit out there, to my eye, including some in TC's own range. It reminds me of kit from when I started playing years ago, its just a big black box. I'm not dissing the product itself though, as I've not tried one, the tone print function might well be useful, but I'd be more likely to look at the head version of this than the combo, it's just a bit too bulky for the amount of power it puts out. </my other 2p> Eude

[quote name='Ticktock' timestamp='1374148633' post='2145783'] Getting something built for me is something I hadn't considered. I thought it be beyond my budget. Have to look in to that more thoroughly. The move from headless to headed. I can do that. I mean, I went from headed to headless. Do love headless I must admit. Oooh ! Just checked out ACG...really like the work. Possibly affordable too. I know what way I'm headed now. Thanks for that. :-) [/quote] ACG will do you a mean headless too if you're that way inclined I can't recommend ACG basses enough by the way! Eude
