    I think most ACG folks on here would share my view when I say, ‘no’. I’ve got a P-bass and switch between the two without thinking about it. I’m not a pro so that may be a factor but , like I say, all ACGs are easy to play. I see you’re near Swindon; whereabouts?

    They are works of art and so easy to play. Good range of tones from the John East pre-amp. I’ll add the weight later but it’s light. Looking to fund a custom build hence the sale. I had a Finn 5 up on here recently, Wenge and Bubinga a la Thumb. The weight (5.2kg) scared people, I think.

    O2 presale for Leeds First Direct; cheapest tickets £136 and some of those are nosebleeds. Saw Fleetwood Mac there a few years ago. Fifteen rows back, opposite Mick Fleetwood’s drum riser, £125. Will wait for Musical Box next February.

    Leeds is on the itinerary so if the ticket prices don’t warrant a kidney sale, I’ll try for a couple on Friday. Saw them 10 times between 1976 and 1983 when I finally decided it was time to stop.

    Saw Steve Hackett at the Barbican in York in November and enjoyable as it was, I would spend my money on The Musical Box for the authentic Genesis experience. First Genesis gig for me was 1976 at Stafford, having failed to get tickets for The Lamb tour the previous year, so note perfect Gabriel era material with vintage gear was a treat. Goose pimples-a-plenty!

    Excellent. A lot of ‘A Trick Of The Tail’. ‘Los Endos’ took me straight back to Manchester Free Trade Hall Jan ‘77 hence the pic. They finished with ‘The Musical Box’, naturally, but came back for an encore of ‘’Supper’s Ready’ 😳

    MB announced last night that they will return next year with the Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, not everyone’s idea of fun but I’ll be there.

    Unashamedly transported back to the 1970s last night at York Barbican; 2.5 hours of consummate musicianship from The Musical Box, one of, if not, the foremost Genesis tribute bands. Stunning!

    Just picked up a 4-string in the same colour, pictures don’t do it justice; acquired taste but exquisite. Good luck with the sale!

    Hello Al - 5.2kg

    For Sale/Trade £1750 - Final Price Drop. Looking for 4 or 5 string lined fretless. Bought this from Peter (GreeneKing) a couple of months ago and am using his description from that sale as it sums up this instrument beautifully. For those familiar with ACG and Alan’s work, this is excellent value for a bass of this spec. “It has a flat radius board, 18mm spacing and plays like a dream. Complex tones are available with the filter pre and 20 coils of pickup on hand. The bass even has a passive switch and a passive tone (batteries are required to power the pickups). 34" scale with a 7 piece neck that is ultra stable. I modelled the woods from my Warwick Thumb and it has that growl which is great. This bass has presence in spades...‘ Top Wood: Bubinga/Maple/Wengek Body Wood: Wenge Accent Veneer: Maple Body Finish: Oil/Wax Neck Wood: 7 piece Bubinga/Wenge Fingerboard: Wenge Scale: 34″ Head Plate: Bubinga/Maple, Back Plate: Bubinga/Maple and Heel: Bubinga/Maple Neck Finish: Oil/Wax Pickups: ACG MC5 Multi-Coils Hardware details: ACG/Hipshot bridge, Gotoh GB350 Resolite tuners, Dunlop Dual Design Straplocks and DR Dragon Skin strings Pre-amp: ACG 5K DFM

    How many guitarists do you have? Do they need much looking after? 😁

    Whatever you wonderful folks are doing for the next couple of days, I hope it’s filled with peace and happiness. 😘
