    That's a beauty. If you haven't tasted from the ACG pie you gotta get some.

    Yes. I've a fiver in the mahogany and it's the best no fuss passive bass.

    The Boss ME 50b for me is the easiest multi effects around. Pretty bombproof and has all switches and knobs to turn instead of annoying and confusing computer menus and switches which you need a computer degree to understand. You could pick one up on BC for about £100 or so. £269 new. I have tried the more complicated and I prefer simplicity now. It works for me and its a good starter. Obviously this is only my twist on it, others may hate this pedal but it's worth a look IMHO. Having said that I don't play one at the minute as I just use a behringer BD121 and a single chorus. It's simple and effective for all I need.

    [quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1412601247' post='2570236'] A change of thought, I'm moving out and really need the money, if someone will buy this outright cash £2300 and it's yours! [/quote] This is so not fair. I have wanted one of these for the last five years and I'm skint.

    Thanks for the feedback, it's the first I've seen this. Interesting.

    Am I missing something obvious here as to why anyone would do this ? This was Midge Ure's bassist while playing Vienna at Ryder cup concert. A lefty bass and player but strung the wrong way round....

    Still agonising.

    [quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1411572134' post='2560790'] Give in to your bassist instincts [/quote] My bassist instincts are saying 'buy' cuz I really want one of these. My matrimonial restraint is saying, 'eh wise up....!' 😬

    I had the five string rosewood version of this. Quite gorgeous to look at and play. Have a bump.

    [quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1411500155' post='2560167'] Hopefully someone comes to claim it! [/quote] My resolve is weakening but I could do with avoiding a second divorce which is what would happen if I indulged myself in this without permission.

    Why is this still here ? It's playing havoc with my self control.

    He should have made it clearer about the new strings . . . I nearly missed that point. Hilarious.

    Thanks guys. I appreciate the kind words. I've a rare opportunity for a non bass related purchase that needs attention. Somebody please take this off my hands.

    Im in a situation where I need some cash freed up and this is all that I can realistically let go. It was a custom order for me and is only just built, it is number 166 I believe in the recently finished gallery on ACG site, spec is there too. Cost was over £1400 but I need some cash released so hence the total bargain, get a basically brand new custom bass for £1050. Sounds and looks quite incredible. It's been played twice at home by me and is with a gigbag. Post included in price to UK. I've attached one photo of my own to show I do actually have the bass, the rest are from the acg site as Alan is a much better photographer than I am. This is breaking my heart but I have no choice.

    There's more distractions now than ever before so less time to focus on creative stuff like music. Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox, sky TV with 250 channels, Skype, Internet, mobile phones with more gimmicks and gizmos than fifty gremlins films. That's just the stuff thats obvious. Facebook, Twitter, emails, txt messages, whatsapp. By the time you do the rounds of all your accounts each day you are ready for bed, not for bass playing.

    Should say that even almost twelve years on I still get that twang of "want" when I smell a new lit cigarette. It's a deep seated addiction, as I remember reading that nicotine is more addictive than crack cocaine and the amount needed to get you addicted is tiny. When you realise the amount of nicotine in a whole pack of cigarettes is milligrams it puts it in perspective..... Like I said , one of the stupidest things I've ever done, right up there with marrying my first wife who wearied my bones as much as cigarettes wreaked havoc in my lungs and chest.
