You are right. I should have spotted that. Sometimes customers respec aspects of Alan’s stock basses. I can only suspect that’s what happened here. I believe that the previous owner was the original purchaser. He is a professional musician and may have had personal preferences in respect of the bridge and control layout. Peter

Right, about time I completed the for sale thread properly. Specs for this bass are: Top Wood: Cocobolo Veneer: Black Body Wood: Swamp Ash Body Finish: Satin Lacquer Neck Wood: 3 piece Maple Finger Board: Acrylic Resin Treated Maple Scale: 35″ 20″ radius Neck Finish: Satin Lacquer Pickups: ACG FB Humbuckers Hardware: Hipshot bridge, Gotoh GB350 Resolite tuners, Dunlop Dual Design Straplocks, Luminlay face dots Pre-amp: East Uni-Pre 5K As can be seen, the bass is in excellent condition. There is a blemish on the face of the headstock at its far end. I didn't notice when I purchased it and it may have been made in some way by a clip on tuner or the affixing thereof. It's not noticeable at all unless you look for it. The bass is strung with nearly new Sunbeams. I comes with a Hiscox hard case. It has a very distinctive base tone, being kind of dark and strong if that makes any sense. The powerful and quiet East EQ gives the ability to make much adjustment. It's a stunner, beautiful made with the asymmetric neck profile that is one of Alan's trademarks. The playability in terms of the neck and fret construction and workmanship is top notch. The band always make very favourable comments when it comes out to play, both on looks and tone. If you compare this custom, renowned UK luthier made bass with any US mass produced Fender that will likely be far more money the ACG comes away in a different class entirely. Weight 10.6lb. String spacing at the bridge 18mm. Neck width and string spacing at the nut 45mm and 9mm respectively.

Certainly Andy From neck end: 1. Volume, 2. Blend, 3. +/- Bass/treble stack with bright pull on top knob, 4. Sweepable +/- mids with frequency on bottom, 5. Passive tone, that works in active also and engages passive when lifted. A very powerful and versatile preamp. I'm just about to take some photos, weigh the bass and put the full spec up. I'll see if it fits the Hiscox and check the Luminay dots still shine. Peter

Not owning an ACG was a place I wasn’t comfortable with, knowing Alan as I do and having owned quite a few over many years. So I was chuffed when I acquired this lovely instrument. However, a fractured spine over 2 years ago and ongoing back pain with an osteoporosis diagnosis has meant that only lightweight basses are doable. On Thursday I’ll take some current photos (as well as getting an accurate weight). Please see photos on later post. A beautiful instrument in great condition, cocobolo top, lovely maple fingerboard with Luminay dots (and UV torch). The electronics are an East Uni Pre with passive and a passive tone control. 35” scale gives an immense B string, the best I’ve played. There is a blemish on the far end of the face of the headstock. It may be from a tuner?? It was there when I bought the bass and it’s almost impossible to see. If anyone would like to check this bass out that would be most welcome. Peter

I took the Curtis Novak gold foil equipped Sire D5 to band rehearsal yesterday to see what it was like ‘in the mix’. It was a very ‘woody’ wholesome P bass tone with huge presence and ability to cut though and remain more than just another bass. I was extremely pleased.
