Literally the 9th time someone has posted this to the eBay section... getting rather tiresome now.

Definitely my ACG 30.5 scale 6 string... Never did I think moving from 34" to a 30.5" would be such a good choice! An exceptional beast.

I use a clean Hi-Fi tone on some tracks, I use reverb and delay on others, some even a bit of fuzz, maybe a shade of distortion, and some tracks just run through a true bypass and go direct from bass to amp. Horses for courses, no one is right, no one is wrong! That's it surely?

If you're able to make a set of the LongEvo strings suitable for a 6 string 30.5 scale bass I will commit to buying a set and be happy to thoroughly and fairly review them. There is a very much increasing trend of short/medium scale bass players out there. This could be a good, mostly untapped, market!

I'd be happy to, but I play a 6 string 30.5 scale bass, and you don't make that specification that I am aware of, my other basses are 7+ strings and you don't sell those either!

Are these strings essentially what used to be D'Orazio strings?

This is definitely not a guitar of course... It's headless, it has strings, it's made by one of this parish, therefore it counts! A Reiver Kompakt T7 with ART burl top and a flame Sycamore board.

I said I'd never use such things... BUT having had my custom ACG for nearly a year now, I do miss fret markers. Especially when playing on a neutral neck and playing a lot of chordal pieces towards the bottom end of the neck. I recently invested in some faux abalone fret markers made from some kind of 0.07mm thick wizard material. They look OK, they feel OK, they do absolutely serve the purpose of seeing where I'm at, but I'm still not convinced. Being a hard core stickler for originality, in pains me that these are on the bass, but they are definitely useful! Naturally I've applied them in the same position Alan tends to place his luminlay, just to make it feel slightly more like they've always been there!

Tony? Y Not!

A palindrome is spelt/read the same backwards and forwards!!! That's what the word palindrome specifically means! This logo is not spelt or read the same backwards as forwards. But it is an ambigram. Take your correction, God knows you like to dish out corrections enough!

A palindrome is spelt the same forward as backward, this is not that.

You mean ambigram sir, not palindrome.

The Happiest of Jack's sent me some jazz pups free-o-charge, they arrived and look rather mint! Canny say more than that! Happy Jack is yet another credit to BC. Cheers good sir!

PM incoming sir!

ACG and De Gier both do single cuts that have a very similar profile to that. Just without the nasty J pickguard and control plate!

Honestly though, I know the perfect bass for you...

Basses relic'd to look like someone else's bass. The second you put a tiny knock in it, or the player who it's modelled after puts a ding in their bass, the whole thing becomes pointless.

Frank was kind enough to drop off a strap to my doorstep free of charge! Can't ask for more than that! Another credit to Basschat, cheers good sir!

This would complete my collection! I have an A, N, K, E and R basses.
