Excellent head, my favourite class D. Taste knob does the business, and Freddie is a top chap to deal with - win all round

And sold. Thanks for the kind words everyone, and have a Merry Christmas!

[quote name='TorVic' timestamp='1450623306' post='2934380'] Are there any sound samples of this bass? It would be great to hear how this baby sounds. [/quote] Good question Vic - my kit is in storage but I will try to get some samples posted over the next week.

[b]For sale only: [/b]ACG Über ART Recurve 4, £2000 [b]Location:[/b] Tonbridge, Kent With a heavy heart I'm having to put up my pride and joy in order to finish off our building works. For maximum irony all the photos are in the incomplete extension that this sale would fund...but at least the floor matches!

Gigged 4 times and treated very carefully. [b]Condition[/b] Full working order. Cosmetically no dings, marks etc. When I bought the bass, Alan reduced the price [size=4][font=arial, sans-serif]due to a small blemish in the finish in the red coloured section between the end of the neck and the neck pickup (see photos). This blemish was caused by some solvent coming through the finish from the acrylic impregnated top. It caused a film to appear on the finish which was easily wiped off and now appears to have stopped, and can only be seen with the bass held up to the light and at a specific angle. [/font][/size] I also swapped the pole pieces and pickup mounts for 'gold' screws, following consultation with Alan and Kent Armstrong: the pole pieces are the same size M5 bolts but I sprayed the ends with gold paint (obviously not when they were in the bass!). The original black screws are included, there is no difference to the sound, just aesthetics, so you can choose. [b]Comes with[/b] Original lockable Hiscox hard case, with a couple of marks but no dents Dunlop straplocks - I never put these on but they are included Luminlay LED torch [b]Sound[/b] Amazing versatility from the two low-pass filter pickups with master blend, and the configurable lo-mid and mid/high boosts, plus pots to vary the amount of highs and mids. I've played Motown through to rock with quick on-stage adjustments of the pre. The XLR is useful too, and I used it as the input direct to a Crest CA9 power amp for a very pure signal. [b]Payment etc.[/b] BACS transfer or cash on collection please. I will courier if we can mutually agree on a service that will be high quality and guarantee musical instruments, and I will pack very carefully. My feedback is in my signature. [b]Try out[/b] You are very welcome to come and try out, I can provide amp and cabs or bring your own. The kettle is not always on, since that would be a major fire risk and hugely expensive, but I will happily make a brew once you're here... [b]Finally...[/b] I'd like to say that Alan Cringean was excellent throughout the sales process and even if this particular ACG may not be for you I would strongly recommend his work and service.

Was messed around last week by Interparcel/UPS - delivery did not occur on the day stated, despite guaranteed premium service. But just to say, Interparcel were good and responsive on Twitter, which seems by far the best way to raise a customer complaint in public. Just state that the delivery is late and then they will get in touch via direct message so you don't share sensitive details. I was then phoned by UPS - had to put my foot down as they were a bit vague - and all was well. The packaging (by a fellow basschatter) was superb so the extra day in the van meant no ill effects!
