[quote name='purpleblob' post='1157241' date='Mar 10 2011, 09:14 PM']This is a stunning looking bass, I have a shuker and if mine's anything to go by this will be top quality and damn good price as well. Oh and I love to top, same wood as my Sei Jazz - beautiful. EDIT: bloody spelling mistakes [/quote] Very nice!

[quote name='Scoop' post='1145550' date='Mar 1 2011, 11:27 AM']It's sunburst. It was originally owned by a US Musician who was a Lakland endorsee. He had a US Glaub as his main live bass and had this Skyline as his backup. The Chicago factory guys got their hands on it before they passed it to him and it has some extras to make it an exact replica of his US model with a torty pickguard and the thumbrest over the pickup. The pup is a Lindy Fralin. It wasn't used live, apparently, coz he never needed his backup. He left the band about six years back and kept both Glaubs before selling this one to me in 2007. It's a very nice bass which I've gigged a few times so it's not showroom condition but it's bloody close.[/quote] I love Glaubs, if I hadn't bought an acg 6 and ordered a 5 I'd do a swap but I'm in need of some dosh, lots off basses, to bigger overdraft!

[quote name='Scoop' post='1145467' date='Mar 1 2011, 10:17 AM']Supressed market, job losses, belt tightening. It's a scary world out there and not much is shifting. This is a truly daft price for a fabulous bass and I'm frankly astonished that it's not shifted. I'm toying with the idea of selling my Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub (which I never use any more) to raise some dosh for this. The problem is of course, that that probably won't sell either. Have a bumb anyway while I have a think about it.[/quote] Ahhh... Glaub, I've just had mine "pimped up" by Nigel Roberts at Leicestershire luthier, refret, nut, custom wound pickup, seems a bonkers idea but the bloke reckoned it would make a difference, he was right, it's taken a very decent bass and turned it into a truly stunning one! What colour is yours?

[quote name='richardrickenbacker' post='1144865' date='Feb 28 2011, 07:51 PM']This not gone yet? A great bass for that price.[/quote] Fraid not, I was a tad surprised too, the shape is a matter of taste I suppose but they are serious basses in this price bracket, I may keep it and go the old fashioned way and save some pennies to pay for an extra new toy!

[quote name='giblett123' post='1124616' date='Feb 12 2011, 07:15 AM']Nah, very easy to play, the balance on these is excellent, they just sit there! I'll have to climb on the scales and weigh it, Will get back to you on that.[/quote] 8lbs.

[quote name='richardrickenbacker' post='1124166' date='Feb 11 2011, 06:21 PM']How does it sit when you are playing sitting down? Is it uncomfortable? Strange shape.[/quote] Nah, very easy to play, the balance on these is excellent, they just sit there! I'll have to climb on the scales and weigh it, Will get back to you on that.

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='1123551' date='Feb 11 2011, 08:39 AM']Great basses these - staggering value.[/quote] They are fantastic bases, having avoided anything with more than 4 strings with a passion bordering on paranoia I've finally realised I'm more comfortable and fluent on the bigger necked 5's and 6's so I'm moving on my 4's to fund it, I have a 5 on order and really fancy a 33" 5er.

Afternoon everyone! Here we have my ACG "graft" Harlot, which I've had from new and briefly floated a year or so ago as a feeler to raise some cash when work was short. My build projects are now coming in (In the build diaries) so I need to free up some funds. The graft is hand built in ACG's Moffat workshop and the build quality and components are top drawer, it is a fine piece of craftsmanship. [b]Specs are:[/b] Alder body with a Shedua top. 3 piece Maple neck with a Rosewood board. John East 2 band cut & boost EQ with selectable frequency centres for the bass and treble. ACG FB humbucker pickup. Hipshot Type B bridge & Gotoh GB7 tuners. Satin finish, weighs a tad under 8lbs. [b]Condition:[/b] Its A1. [b]Price:[/b] I'd like £500 or a near(ish) offer [b]PRICE DROP £475[/b] yes I can ship, (sorry but no trades this time please, its a fund raiser)[b]EDIT: I may consider trading for a small(ish) amp, eg a promethean, Genz shuttle combo, markbass CMD112, or something decent for pitwork (with a cash adjustment either way if needed) or possibly a fretless....?[/b] Thanks for looking! Chris.

[quote name='zigmondo' post='1113124' date='Feb 2 2011, 10:24 PM']Ah, another stonker of an ACG; I'm thinking this won't hang about for long. Oddly enough(but of absolutely no use to you Martin), I've toyed with the idea of trading my Harlot 5...but alas, only for another top-quality 5-string(if you came across a Status or Sad 5 and wanted an ACG 5.... ) One word of comfort for those who initially imagine an ACG to be weighty: in my experience only , if they are(and my own is no heavier than my previous bass), then it would seem to be only by a pound or so. More importantly, they balance so extremely well when in playing position either on the knee or standing, that weight has never been an issue. I suffer with occasional back issues, and I can safely say that my Les Paul copy gives me more jip than an ACG..and I can safely play the ACG for a 2 hour set, no worries. G'wan g'wan g'wan[/quote] +1 on that, I also have a dodgy back and the balance on these is superb and mine give me no probs, they just "hang right", very comfortable to play.

[quote name='KERMITNT' post='1112290' date='Feb 2 2011, 01:02 PM']too heavy for me but i love that work of perfection [/quote] Lovely basses, the craftsmanship on these is top drawer, well worth a punt.

[quote name='Steve Amadeo' post='1105453' date='Jan 27 2011, 07:23 PM']Bump.[/quote] Really surprised this is still here, its a lovely bass, not a mark and sounds fantastic, I guess the post xmas credit card bills have landed!
