Hi all, This was delivery yesterday, its not quite what I'm after so would like to see if anyone wanted it. These are £40 new, I bought this in a special deal for £30, so would like to recover what I paid. Postage within UK is included in the price. It has 4 pockets (1 'secret' one) and can hold several sets of guitar strings, capos, plecs etc. or can just be used as a cash wallet! This is brand new, freshly delivered and comes with the cotton pouch and unopened booklet and sticker. £30 delivered.

Hi all, Up for sale here is my stunning ACG Harlot 6 string bass. This bass was made by ACG in the UK and is in excellent condition with only one or two very minor marks. I'm putting this back up for sale as we're about to start some major home improvements and I could do with adding a little cash to the pot. The bass has a Goncalo Alves top and back with a beautiful grain, the body wood is Butternut and it has black accent veneers between the top, body and back woods. The neck is a 7 piece ebony/maple/black Limba construction and looks stunning. The headstock has a matching Goncalo Alves cap and an ebony heel, it's 34" scale and plays absolutely superbly. It has an ACG active RFB pickup in the neck position and an active SB pickup in the bridge position. The string spacing is 18m and the bridge is 6 individual Hipshot monorail bridge pieces. The tuners are Hipshot Ultralite. The preamp is an ACG EQ01 4K parametric preamp which in combination with the pickups gives you an incredibly wide pallette of tones - you can honestly get everything from a P bass to a jazz, a Musicman to a Rickenbacker and everything inbetween. It really is hugely versatile. Going by the ACG website, to order this bass today would cost circa £3500. Included is a brand new Hiscox hard case to allow for safe shipping. Although I would obviously rather it be collected to make sure it doesn't get damaged in transit. Any questions, please ask!

Entry level 6 with simlar string spacing to Squire J Bass?
binky_bass replied to DocTrucker's topic in Bass Guitars
I absolutely agree with the above, DO NOT go straight to a 6er with 19mm spacing, it will absolutely put you right off them! It'll be far easier to get used to and to play if you aim for around 17mm spacing, on a 6ers that'll effectively reduced the breath of the neck by 1cm, which doesn't sound much, but if you're brand new to 6ers, going from a 4 string neck to a very wide 6er neck will feel far worse to play that adjusting your playing to a slightly narrower spacing. (IMHO!) The HB 6ers are perfectly fine, my personal recommendation is to try and find a second hand Cort A6 of some variety, they are (again IMHO) about the best bang for buck you'll get out of a 6er, and if you buy second hand, and really don't get on with it, you can sell it on and not loose a ton of money. The ESP LTD B206SM or B-1006 are good basses too, but are SUPER heavy. Look for a Cort A6, make an offer to someone selling one second hand (there is even one for sale in the for sale section here!), see if you can get a decent price (take a look at eBay past sales to get an idea of the appropriate price to pay) and if you don't like it you won't loose money selling it. -

I saw this and VERY nearly bought it! You're lucky I had an unexpected bout of self-control! 😄

The bass I was interested in has now been reserved so I'm withdrawing this. Up for sale here is my stunning ACG Harlot 6 string bass. This bass was made by ACG in the UK and is in excellent condition with only one or two very minor marks. I'm only putting this up for sale as another bass has piqued my interest! If that other bass sells then I'm keeping this. 🙂 (The last picture is a better representation of the true colour - the other pictures make it look a bit dull! When I get round to deleting a bunch of old BC photos and make some space, I'll add some better pictures!) The bass has a Goncalo Alves top and back with a beautiful grain, the body wood is Butternut and it has black accent veneers between the top, body and back woods. The neck is a 7 piece ebony/maple/black Limba construction and looks stunning. The headstock has a matching Goncalo Alves cap and an ebony heel, it's 34" scale and plays absolutely superbly. It has an ACG active RFB pickup in the neck position and an active SB pickup in the bridge position. The string spacing is 18m and the bridge is 6 individual Hipshot monorail bridge pieces.

New Posts Stalling/Having to Refresh Page
binky_bass replied to ezbass's question in Site Issues and Questions
Same here, all posts are stalling when you click to post. It doesn't automatically refresh and just hangs on that 'save' load screen. If you manually refresh the page, the comment does seem to have been posted, but like others it seems to require a manual nudge at the moment! -
And the Police, and Action Fraud by the sounds of it too... We only know of bassists affected, and only those savvy enough to search around and land here. So you can probably assume for evert 1 person we know that's been scammed, there are at least 10 that we don't know of. This is a big case, the guy has a history of fraud and other convictions too, so I think this would definitely be of interest to something like Rip Off Britain. Who ever among us has the most detail on this case should raise it with them, see if they want to investigate and report on it.

You could try and get some media attention... That programme 'Rip Off Britain' is still about, you can contact them on the below email address, they might have an interest in this scam as its been going on for years and nothing has been done. [email protected]
