  1. You could change the preamp.
  2. Second hand Kompakt 6 available. Details at: [url="http://reiverguitars.co.uk/project/006kp/"]http://reiverguitars.../project/006kp/[/url] Change to the pickup spec in that the neck now has a single coil in it and the switch is a 3 way instead of the usual 5 way. I am not selling the guitar but will be happy to put you in touch with the owner. Hopefully this will be OK with the mods if not let me know.

  3. That will be down to the increased paperwork and administration related to the importing and exporting of Rosewood. I know even without any CITES woods in an instrument my paper work to send anywhere outside the EU has gone up considerable.
  4. For what it is worth I really liked that one.
  5. As of tomorrow this will be down to the last day of the auction.
  6. Nice work. Alan
  7. Umpire warning for ungentlemanly conduct.

  10. Hi I have donated a Finn 4 bass to the cricket club I play to try and raise some funds for the club. Can everyone (in the UK) please share this post. EBay auction for bass guitar, kindly donated by our 2nd Xl sponsors A C Guitars (Alan Cringean) starts tomorrow morning at 9am and lasts for 10 days. All funds raised go to the club, so please promote and share as much as possible. [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132086676333"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132086676333[/url]

    Thanks. More to be added.
  14. Ok we are open for business. Full details at the link below, more to be added as we go along. [url="http://acguitars.co.uk/mbb/"]http://acguitars.co.uk/mbb/[/url]
  15. [quote name='metissekit' timestamp='1483958660' post='3211345'] Hi Bass Apprentice. You're right. It's for someone who isn't afraid to think out of the box just a tad. I've had the usual fare Yamaha, Fender, Gibson so not going to criticise anyone staying safe.....but some people pay extraordinary money for ACG, Fodera, Alembic etc etc and John Deacon mostly used a standard Precision.£200 buy you what in basses these days? Many thanks for your help. J [/quote] Wish I was even in the same ballpark as Foders and Alembic
  16. Had you ordered a bass from scratch then there are neck options but a stock bass is all ready done so that limits the options. On the particular bass you bought the neck was unusual in that is was fairly chunky as I pointed out at the time so not representative of the usual neck dimensions.
  17. If anyone is interested this Fusion bag works very well for the Helix floor unit. Loads of additional pockets and has rucksack straps as well. [url="https://www.fusion-bags.com/products/sa-workstation-controller"]https://www.fusion-bags.com/products/sa-workstation-controller[/url] I have the floor unit which I intend to take to shows to demo basses and guitars. I have used many multi-effects units over many years and this is by far the easiest to use. Fairly new to the modelling aspect of it but so easy to edit every thing it is proving pretty easy full stop. On the whole I still prefer the bass without the modelling but that could just be down to many years of recording via DI. Still found some excellent sounds using the modelling and have made up several banks with just cab/amp to demo the basses. Brilliant unit very pleased I got it first outing will be to the Holy Grail in Berlin.
  18. Also has a bass boost on the push/pull on the active stack. Pull bright on the volume/tone when in active mode. Four options regarding bass boost frequency plus level selected internally. Yes it is a split coil and in this case with Alnico magnets rather than the ceramic I normally use.
  19. Dave Wilson I think he is working out of Hexham at the moment. Quality work.
  20. Thanks very much. Hopefully my customer will be reunited with his bass.
  21. Fixed. Now with details on the bass. Much appreciated. Alan
  22. Details on the bass below pinched last week in the West Yorkshire area. Any information leading to the recovery of the bass would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Alan [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0167-finn-4/"]http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0167-finn-4/[/url] Not sure if this is the correct forum to put this in, if not please move to the correct one.
  23. The BHS came all the way from Tasmanian.
  24. The woods are: Top Blackhearts Sassafras body Swamp Ash. Neck is 3 piece Maple with a Rosewood board. 24 fret, 16" radius, Dual action trussed and carbon rods.
  25. I have used several different brands over the years and have no complaints about the SIT strings they are an excellent mid range string. I have been using the shorts ale strings for several years and the full range for about a year now. I was going to continue using the SIT strings in the Standard Series and keep the Newtone Strings for the higher spec instruments but once they are used up I will be sticking with Neil. However I wanted a custom set to achieve what I wanted with regard to string construction and feel. I also wanted shorter scale strings again with specific requirements. I build quite a few shorts scale basses now so that was important.
