[color=#3C3241]Unusual and innovative desktop bass amp. I bought it online as 'B-Stock' but have hardly used it. I think it was B-Stock because it has a tiny mark on the left hand edge of the white front casing. The VU meter lights up but doesn't seem to do much either. [/color] [color=#3C3241]Retail price is £599 and Bass Guitar magazine named it their Accessory of the Year 2016. [/color] It has a wireless transmitter so you can play from the couch, audio interface for recording, socket for your phone which uses an app for amp modelling, headphone jack, external speaker out etc etc. Check out the Ashdown website for all the details: [url="http://ashdownmusic.com/products/1/ba/21/BSOCIAL/131/BSOCIAL75W/"]http://ashdownmusic....131/BSOCIAL75W/[/url] [color=#3C3241]So, loads of features and clever technology in there, works fine for quiet practice, and good and loud as a home stereo. I just want something a bit louder for bass practice. Perfect though if you're looking for something multi-purpose for the lounge that (they say) your wife won't mind looking at! [/color] [color=#3C3241]Personally I think it is overpriced for what it is, and it was B-Stock when I got it, thus the low asking price. [/color] [color=#3C3241]Based in Edinburgh but can ship at cost. [/color]

No probs, thanks for getting back. It's a lovely bass for sure. Not that I need another one of course.... If I could get this little thing sold I'd be closer... https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-bass-amplifiers/ashdown-b-social-desktop-bass-combo/1210480006 Don't suppose you fancy a part exchange?

PMd a few days ago.

Hi. Can you tell me what the nut width is please? And also, how's the balance, given how light it is?

What's the nut width on this? Any neck dive? Cheers, Dave.

Ah, fair enough. I shouldn't even be looking anyway. :-)

Still for sale?

Here's a pic. Not that easy to show! They're very much surface only - you can barely feel the at all. I actually had the board reshot by Chris McIntyre - it wasn't totally true, but it is now - and these lines reappeared almost the instant I started playing again. They don't affect its playability at all. They're D'Addario EXP Nickelwounds that are on it just now btw. Cheers, Dave.

Bump.

ACG made around 2012 I think. Bass is on Alan's website here: [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/g019-j-type-fretless-4/"]http://www.acguitars...ype-fretless-4/[/url] American alder body finished in “grunge black”, 3 ply parchment/black scratchplate, 3 piece maple neck with Indian ebony unlined fingerboard (dots on side at fret positions), birdseye maple headplate with black veneer accent. 2 ACG FB humbuckers, Hipshot bridge, Gotoh tuners. Previous owner had the passive EQ upgraded to active 3 band Audere preamp, so controls are stacked volume/blend, stacked treble/bass, stacked hi mid/lo mid. Beautiful bass, in excellent condition. Some very light marking on the fingerboard from the roundwounds I have on it but very superficial. Only selling as I just accidentally bought another fretless here and want to stick to my one in one out policy! Based in Edinburgh, collection preferred, no trades please as I have already replaced it, gig bag included if wanted.

You'll find it on gumtree too if you want to look now.

It's a done deal. :-) Looking forward to getting it next week sometime. Thanks to everyone for all the reassurances.

You just bought this a few days ago, yes? What's wrong with it?

PMd.

Did you ever sell this bass?

Hi, Yes, I can box and send. Likely be an extra £20 I'd guess. i'll need to dig out the cajon bag but yes, I think it has a shoulder strap. Cheers.

Bump.

Bump.

Hi. I have a prospective buyer hopefully coming to tomorrow. Will post if it is not sold. Thanks for all the interest.

PM'd.
