    If you're in a standard covers band playing the likes of 'Dakota' and 'Sweet Home Alabama' then sure, but if you play your own original music, a 6 string is a huge advantage and opens up far more possibilities than a 4. Why limit yourself to a 4 when a 6 can do everything a 4 can do and much more!

    Tempted... I'm not a million miles away (Basildon). You likely to be aware in the general direction of Basildon at any point soon?

    Throw it at a cat? Oh wait, you've said that. Door stop? No... you've said that too... Err... throw it at two cats?

    Yes. Yes it is. You'll end up wanting more strings soon... I have several 6 strings, a 7, an 8, a 9 and a 10 string. I once had a 13 string bass too. Roll with it sir, accept your fate... You're now one of us, there is no going back!! One of us... one of us... one of us... one of us...

    It took me a while to realise that the speaker wasn't actually mounted in the chair seat like some strange self gratification device! 😂

    I'll start the bidding process for @mhoss32 next build... My bid is half a packet of Wotsits and a 'mystery box'*. Let's see someone beat THAT cunning offer! *no guarantee the mystery box contains anything.

    £1200 is cheap for an ACG! Excellent basses these - Having owned at some point or another one (or more!) of almost every 'boutique' bass brand out there, ACG are my personal favourite. Currently have 4 of Alan's creations and none will be sold. The build quality is of the absolute highest order, equalled by a very small number of builders and surpassed by none in my opinion. Whoever buys this will love it I'm sure!

    F-Basses are beautiful things indeed, this one looks exceptional! Though the cost of some of their options is utterly ludicrous! $150 for flush mount strap locks... you can buy them for £15 and have them installed by any decent luthier for another £15! Still, an absolute beauty of a bass and a good price considering the new price with shipping and taxes!

    Dare I ask what you estimate the total cost of the build to have been (materials only) and how many hours you think it took from start to finish? Feel free to not answer if it's too prying of a question, I'm just genuinely interested!

    I've owned a few of these over the years, they are (in my humble opinion) the very best 'stock' 6 string bass out there. And for what it's worth, I truly believe they are better than the series II version of these. Excellent choice! If you decide to sell it, give me a shout!

    I have a solution for you, buy worse basses! 😂

    @TomWIC - 16" deep sir!

    Has the same wear pattern... looks identical.

    Fancy making a 6 string bass!

    It looks like a fantastic love child between a Bolin, a Wal, a Carl Thompson and a Ritter whilst being entirely unique! An astonishing job sir! Can't wait to hear it!

    The push/pull function on one of the many stacked knobs on my ACG 6 does absolutely nothing. If a producer ever asks for a different vibe I'd just pull that - 90% chance they'd say "yeah, that's better!". You need to add a 'producer' knob to your basses that does nothing at all!

    Get in the corner and think about what you've done...

    Would every please just shut up!!! 😂

    There's a difference between a genuine typo mistake and continually typing the same rather annoying ' ,, ' after every single word you type! You don't NEED to do that, it actually takes you longer to type all these needless ' ,, ' over and over again than it would just to use a single comma. Apparently its due to 'years of drum programming'... not sure what that has to do with the same ' ,, ' appearing a thousand times in every one of your posts though! *goes off to scream into a pillow*

    Don't make me refer back to the Spock vs Shatner picture!!!

    Them be fightin' words! Do you want the wenge fighting stick or the bubinga one? Both fight differently. 😜

    There's only one way to settle this...

    Hi all, Looking to move on this recent acquisition. I have a beautiful 7 string ACG Reiver and a PRS Custom 24 so this will just never get played! It's in excellent condition with only a few very minor marks, freshly strung with a set of Slinky 10s so its ready to go! Looking for £150. Collection from Basildon, Essex is preferred however I can post for £15 (uninsured and at your risk) if need be. Any questions, just ask!
