For sale is my TC Electronic BH800 amp, a fantastic bit of kit. Light, exceptionally powerful, with dual Toneprint capability so you can load of a stack of free effects via an app on your smartphone. It's also got a headphone out, aux in, built-in tuner, you name it, it's got it. Great tonal flexibility, and power in spades. It comes complete with a TC Helicon Switch-3, allowing switching between Toneprint effects, and amp muting. The pedal box is a bit battered from being in my leads bag, but I've hardly used the pedal, so it's in very good condition. The best new price I can find for the amp is £449, the pedal £63, and the bag about £25, so that's a total of £537 worth of gear. Amp specs are here: https://www.tcelectronic.com/Categories/Tcelectronic/Bass/Head-Amplifiers/BH800/p/P0CIQ Also included is a Gator amp bag, a perfect fit for the head. Note that the amp has a dink on the top right corner of the aluminum front fascia - this is reflected in the price. The damage is purely cosmetic, and has no effect on the amp's performance. Sorry, but I'm not looking for any trades. NOW SOLD

Don't fight it - you know you need one!

For sale is my ACG Finn headless. I've listed this before, but it's recently undergone a bit of a re-vamp. It has an interesting past, in as much as the body and neck were made by Alan for a friend, and weren't intended to end up on the open market, hence the non-standard pickup configuration. The body and neck are Alan's, but it appears that the hardware and electronics have been added, and altered, by the original and subsequent owners. When I got it, it had some nasty pickups in it and didn't sound great, but after a bit of tweaking and TLC, it's turned out to be a great bass. It's now fitted with a pair of Hanson pickups (out of my Lakland DJ5) which I sent to Bare Knuckle and had re-wound, plus a John East Uni Pre, and sounds very good indeed! It has a Black Limba body with some lovely striping and a trans purple finish, routed for pickups with lugs, as opposed to the usual ACG pickups, and a maple asymmetric neck with a birdeseye maple fingerboard. It's 35" scale (although you wouldn't know it - it feels really compact) 46mm wide at the zero fret, 55mm at the 12th fret, and 18mm spacing at the bridge (adjustable). It weights 4.1kg on my digital bathroom scales, and sits really well on the knee or on a strap. Along with the Uni-Pre is an East low battery indicator board and LED. The body also has two additional micro switch positions, currently unused. There are a few marks and scratches here and there, but nothing of any great significance. There are no issues with the neck, the frets are all in good order, and it plays beautifully, with a powerful sound, loads of sustain and clarity, and huge tonal variety from the Uni-Pre. The only reason I'm selling it is that I don't get on with the asymmetric neck - all my other basses have standard neck profiles and just suit me more. You're welcome to come and try it out in person - I'm based just off the A3 between Woking and Guildford, close to junction 10 of the M25. Sorry, but I'm not looking for any trades. NOW SOLD

The perfect bass for a Stingray 5 fan who wants wider string spacing! GLWTS.

As ead said, it's 18mm. The saddles are adjustable, so it can be altered.

For sale is my ACG J-Type 5-string, No. 0078. I bought it on here last year, and it's a beautiful thing - the only reason I'm parting company with it is I just use my other basses more, and this deserves to be played and enjoyed! All the original specs are still on Alan's website here - http://archive.acguitars.co.uk/portfolio/0078-j-type-5-string/ It's in really excellent condition. For the purposes of full disclosure, the only marks I can find are a couple of small scratches on the back near the control cavity cover, and two tiny marks on the fingerboard between the 2nd and 3rd fret, which you can't feel, and can barely see. These all pre-date my ownership. I replaced the original EQ01 filter preamp with an East Uni-Pre. The bass balances beautifully, and has great resonance and sustain, along with a huge tonal range from the pickups and preamp. UK shipping is included in the price, as is a Stagg lined hard case to ship it in if required. You're welcome to come and try before you buy - I'm just off the A3 near Woking in Surrey. Sorry, but I'm not looking for any trades. NOW SOLD.

Bump

I have one of these, also a re-issue, because I couldn't afford one when they first came out in the 70's! They're really nicely put together, with a slightly more gutsy tone than you might expect from a Jazz bass style set-up. The neck is also chunkier and rounder at the back, more like an early Precision shape. Very comfy to play, well balanced, and it looks great. Mine hangs on the wall in my Lounge so I can just stare at it (and wonder where the last 40 years went). GLWTS.

Price revision bump.

Trade options added.

Oddly enough, the Mk2 is one of the Status basses that actually looks better to me WITH a headstock - to my eye, it balances out the wider body nicely! I’ve been looking for a 5-string version of this bass, but it seems they’re extremely rare. Rob said he can still make one, but unfortunately it’s beyond my budget. A lovely bass, GLWTS.
