Afternoon all, Due to some essential house works I'm looking to sell my deposit on for this remarkable ACG 6 string 33" scale Salace E Type. The RRP as shown below in the spec sheet is £3570 - Alan kindly did me a deal at £3100 (£470 off RRP) and has said he will honour this price for anyone who would take on the build. My deposit is £300, so to take on this build the deal is £300 to me to cover my stake, and £2800 to Alan upon completion (due circa December 2021) before delivery/collection. I do not want to be selling my stake in this bass as it looks to be a spectacular build... the ART burl top with gold resin is stunning, the neck dots will be made from the top wood with double dots at the 12th and 24th fret. Matching ART burl headstock cap too. The pickups are an RFB active humbucker in the bridge and an active PB in the neck position with a DMF 5K A/P pre-amp which I have on two other ACGs and this combination allows for almost any conceivable tone you might want. The body is swamp ash with a 5 piece Ash/Wenge neck and a sure-to-be-stunning Acrylic Impregnated Holly fretboard. This really will be an absolute killer bass in every capacity. You'd have until December to pay off the full balance after clearing the £300 deposit, so the remaining £2800 could be paid all at once, or in chunks up until December of this year, so plenty of time to fund it! If you have any other questions, just let me know. Thanks. -
Owned a few of these, great basses. But as Ped says, if you don't get a response then there are plenty of equally good/arguably better builders out there!

S734491 puts it at 1977 I believe. -
Isn't that exactly the point/how they should be fitted? 🤔

Sold an iPod nano to Martin, always a smooth transaction. Would be happy to deal with again, and no doubt will at some point! Another top basschatter. 😁

I saw a boob once, scared the hell out of me. Never again.

Gear Gallery... I click the link thinking I'd be whisked away to pictures of my favourite narcotics only to be greeted with pictures of basses... how disappointed I was. Keep it safe and go with 'Photos Of Bass Guitars' (Cue the person to be disappointed by not seeing guitars made out of fish). There is no winning!!!

5 year old thread guys!! -
Bit presumptive if you've not even got a PM! How very dare they...

3rd parties buy thousands of slots at a time which gives them a much cheaper total price so its almost always cheaper to go with a 3rd party.

@Hamster - I think my PM will have got to you first, but I'm not in any massive need for an acoustic bass so feel free to offer it up to @Mickeyboro or @howdenspur. If neither take it I'll be third in line. -
24" scale and 19cm spacing over 4 strings (22.5" total) spacing would mean the fretboard is almost a perfect square! For £6900 might be worth correcting such huge errors!!! 😝 -
Extremely tempted!

This will be a 94 model, the 89 has a single truss. Lovely bass, possibly refinished? If it has been, it's been done very tastefully and if anything would probably add rather than take away from any value! Superb instruments these... For what it's worth, I think you'll regret selling this.

Another ACG 6 String... (when do you admit you have an addiction?)

Just in case you aren't joking, it hasn't been shaped yet! 😉 -
I'm not sure if what we play classes as metal, but there are certainly some 'heavy as metal' parts to a good number of our songs, so on that basis I shall post within this thread! My main bass at the moment is an ACG 6 string 33" scale bass, we tuned half a step down for our songs and this bass is perfectly suited to that. Excellent array on tones to allow the bass to thunder along or shine at the top of the mix. Amp wise, it's a Mesa Boogie Strategy Eight:88 head with two Mesa Vintage Powerhouse cabs throwing out circa 450w of obscene valve power. Effects wise, I went from a massive board to a Line 6 Helix and haven't looked back. Does everything you need it to do and a fair bit more. All in, that set up is about as good as I have ever played and works brilliantly with our music, for the metally parts and the slightly lighter parts!

Just realised the bass one has a rip in the bottom, so call it £15 collected or £20 posted for the lot. -
Hi, (Bass one has a rip, so call it £20 posted or £15 collected for all 3) I've got these three surplus to requirement gig bags, one is a padded bass bag, one is a non-padded bass bag and the last is a padded guitar bag. Looking for £30 for all three posted to you or £25 collected from Basildon, Essex. Ideally need them gone ASAP as we're moving house shortly. Russ.

A better picture of the top... -
Maybe they are talking about themselves? I am collectable - as in I am able to collect things. Also, going down this road, anyone who says 'Pacific' instead of 'Specific' should be shot immediately and ground into a fine paste.

Agreed, trying to get a courier to pay is a nightmare, they ask for unreasonable information and evidence that you'd have needed to obtain before sending the item such as photos of the packing process, what tape you used, etc. all in an attempt to weasel out of paying. It's my experience that the first answer they give is always "No, sorry this isn't eligible to pay out" in the hope you won't argue it, if you do argue it and if they think they have no choice but to pay, they attempt to low ball you, only if you reject the low ball, and keep pushing will you maybe get something close to the right value of compensation, to be raised via a cheque that takes 6-8 weeks to arrive... They have this process in place because out of 100 claims, 10 to 15 people will give up during the process and they've saved themselves the money of having to pay out these claims.

I don't mean the bass, I mean the picture on the wall behind the bass! 😊
