A while back I bought an ACG Salace shortie (352) from @binky_bass. And that was it. Once you’ve got one ….. Now as it happens, Alan found the rest of the same piece of camphor that’s on the back of 352. So the spec for my own build fell out pretty easily. 30.5” scale DFM pre amp Lined fretless ETS hardware And with its twin, I think of them as my Carlsberg twins

I’ve preached this before but really do believe it. A couple of lessons with a classical db tutor on positioning of the bass and left/right hand pizz technique is the most important money a db player can spend. It’s really noticeable for yourself in terms of ‘destressing your hands and playing stamina. Good luck.

Perhaps try reviewing the wiring to see if there are any loose or dry joints. High impedance points can cause sound issues & distortions. -

The SC Alembics are great. Interesting as they have a filter preamp. A more affordable and conventional one is the Chowny SWB, which is a very well made guitar (I have an Indian made one, the newer ones are reportedly even better). Very slim necks if you’re having hand issues. To get to the sound of the Alembic, a short scale filter preamp ACG nails it. Second hand they can be ridiculously undervalued.

My new 30.5” ACG fretless has arrived this week. It’s amazing! -
And here it is next to its fretted twin. I’ll do an NBD post in due course.. but it’s amazing in the flesh.
