    Lordy, that's a peach Mr Beck! Is this the ultimate refinement of years of clever experimentaton on your part? I know there are some people with quite firm headstock opinions but for me the ACG angled is the best looking one in the business. I actually pulled out your old ACG SS on Sunday after a couple of months in the case and fell in love all over again. With the Ti flats that PB pickup gives some really lovely tones even without the need for preamp. I'm hoping my own ACG NBD is only about 6 weeks away!

    Crikey, that's absolutely gorgeous!

    Lucky man! I was born in 1974 but my dad played a lot of Gong when I was very young and I credit that for my Ozric Tentacles obsession (Roly Wynne, by the way, was a marvellous bassist - taken too soon). Even by the standards of the time Gong were 'special'. So many little riffs and snatches of Gong and Steve Hillage found their way into 80s and 90s music, especially the ambient stuff.

    I always come to your for sale threads just to see that awesome Gong picture in the background and this one certainly hasn't disappointed on that score! Some good looking basses for sensible money, too. GLWTS/T

    Bought an Ampeg SGT Di from Joe. Top man to deal with, pedal was in great shape and the packaging was bombproof so it's a 'YES' from me 👍 Edit: he then took the time to send me some recommendations and explanations about how to get the best out of the cab sims, so it's now a double yes with an egg on top 👍👍🍳

    What a cracker. Colour match silks as well for the finishing touch. Lucky for me I am a very long way from Whitley Bay!

    Quintessential. In my world that is what would accompany any dictionary definition of "bass guitar"

    Ah, the things we do from the heart instead of the head are the good stuff. It's a great story and you'll love it when it's done and then you'll pass it on to someone else who will understand how rare and wonderful it is. Having seen the picture of the stain (I'd only seen the solid colour) it's definitely the bokote for me. Looking forward to further updates.

    The first one is a lovely bit of wood but if you've got that kind of electric blue body (assuming what I found on Google for aniline blue washburn is accurate) the bokote might work better as it's not so busy

    Beautiful bass. Those pickups are so gnarly looking - the equivalent of some 14 hole cherry red docs.

    4 string recurve. 33 inch scale with a PB and RFB pickup combo and the uni pre. Nothing outlandish. A 50th present to myself.

    Ewan sold an ACG to me last year, and very happy I am with it, too. It's led me down the path of no return, mind you, because then I bought another ACG on here and now I have ordered one from Alan. ACG: the Pringles of bass!
  13. Grooverjr
    A stable, I reckon
  14. Grooverjr
    No worries, sorted one out elsewhere. Hope you end up liking it and keeping it!

    Hi. Still available?

    Hi. Is this still available?

    If I hadn't been hit with a completely unexpected bill for almost exactly 800 quid this morning I'd have been beating a path to your door for this. Good luck with the sale - someone is going to get a fantastic and unique bass!
  18. Grooverjr
    Oof! I was hoping you'd say it was skinny so I could stop drooling over it.

    Bought a very nice P neck from Frank - so I could do the 'proper' PJ combo of J body and P neck! Good price, very easy to deal with, top man overall. Thanks.

    I bought Tom's absolutely cracking ACG Skelf. Lovely guy to do business with, did a fantastic job of packing it up for couriering and communication in general and was genuinely interested in how I got on with it. Can't recommend him highly enough. Cheers Tom!

    Looks like a great bass for that money! What's the neck profile and the nut width?
  22. Grooverjr
    Thanks @Berserker. Will PM you @Rollin Thunder
  23. Grooverjr
    Very cool. Great colour. Looks nicer than the Attitude IMO.
  24. Grooverjr
    Gorgeous. That 'dirty birdseye' looks so much better than it sounds! And with an ACG you know it will be a joy to play. For that price someone is going to get a hell of an instrument.
  25. Grooverjr
    That's very cool. Maybe you can get the same paint job on one of your P basses? GLWTS
