  1. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
  2. Welcome.
  3. Not to dismiss @skelf’s entire output ever since but I am beginning to agree with a couple of people on this thread in that I think I have ended up as the owner of the most beautiful ACG ever made!
  4. Hi Marianne, welcome.
  5. Thanks to this thread... ...I now have pictures of my bass being built, at least I think all these are my Harlot? I’m sure @skelf will put me right if they aren’t!
  6. Top amp, love the pukka flight case.
  7. I’m sixteen again...
  8. You, Sir, have made me curious about the tiny little Guitar Shop, I shall be visiting tomorrow.
  9. I was going to offer the same but then TE, ooffttttt.
  10. Just for future reference this pdf produced by the chap who looks after my basses is useful... http://www.guitartechnicalservices.co.uk/acatalog/Bass_Guitar_Restring.pdf
  11. I just couldn’t get on with a 34” fretless, to the point that I was giving up the idea of playing fretless at all, until I tried and subsequently purchased a RA Mouse, so much easier for me.
  12. ...also on the latest Late Junction a track from Richard Dawson’s superb album 2020...
  13. Just listening to Radio 3s brilliant Late Junction programme. First track was a bass player I hadn’t heard before Junius Paul with a track called Sprouts from the album Ism...
  14. Duh, sorry, I meant round cores as opposed to hex cores, not roundwounds!
  15. Not knowingly, tone ahoy!
  16. That’s some neck *applauds*
  17. That’s it, it’s all over, a) I am now officially an ACG fanboy (although I’m really too old to be an anything ’boy’ but fanman..? I dunno), b) I’m keeping the Harlot. It’s just back from TJC Guitars having been fully set up and restrung with Newtone Platinum Roundwounds and man it sings, no way I’d ever get a bass of its ilk again, it has that undefinable extra something that I suppose we are all looking for in a bass. It’s a GAS killer as far as fretted electric basses go. I’ve a feeling that once I get the short scale bass that @Jabba_the_gut is working on for me I’ll be done... ...mind you, I can’t get @TheGreek’s Psilios bass out of my head? There is no end to GAS is there?
  18. Annoyed pine. 😂
  19. It’s just been back to Terry for a set up and a set of strings recommended by @skelf from Newtone Strings. It’ll be the first time I’ve played roundwounds, picking it up tomorrow morning, can’t wait.
  20. I used to be in the ‘reggae bass lines are easy, surely’ camp, until I tried playing some. It makes me realise how uptight my style of writing/playing is. I’m off to listen to LKJ.
  21. Hello!
  22. I play lined fretless with dots between the lines but that’s simply because that’s the way the Rob Allen Mouse I was lucky enough to buy off here was designed. Having said that I’d love to try an unlined.
