    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1501743284' post='3346962'] I'm talking about the amp side of it, does it have an external transformer like a lap top or a conventional 'kettle' plug and if so does it have voltage switching? How come Genz Benz managed auto voltage switching over ten years ago yet it's not found very often on new amps? [/quote] Yup and that's what I was referring to - BigRedX has explained it better

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1501743978' post='3346969'] A minute or so with Google reveals that it does have a standard IEC mains connector and switch mode PS. However the US version also has 120V 60Hz printed on the back panel, so there must be some differences to the PSU between this and the 240V version - even if it is only the value of the non-accessible mains fuse. [/quote] Unless the delay for the U.K. Models is purely down to printing 230VAC on the back of a batch haha

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1501707634' post='3346849'] What type of power supply does it have? [/quote] It's got to be SMPS?

    [quote name='Deedee' timestamp='1501707588' post='3346847'] And you get the carry bag. When I asked BD they said their price didn't include a bag 😮 [/quote] That's a bit daft given it's in the box in which the amp will be delivered!!

    [quote name='project_c' timestamp='1501692515' post='3346642'] I still have a lowly Commando 15 at my home studio, every time I mention that I like it, people look at me funny. Sounds really good to me, and i'm not a fan of Trace stuff at all, in fact I hate all the rehearsal room Trace amps i've played through. But the Commando has something nice about it, very punchy mids, not the usual scoopy tone. I got it for £50. [/quote] My first proper bass amp, wish I hadn't sold it a few years ago. I keep looking out for the very very rare Commando head just for nostalgic reasons really....

    [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1500203690' post='3336164'] Well it's good to know it really will fit in your back pocket: (warning: gratuitously stupid sexist content follows) [attachment=249175:elf_backpocket.jpg] [/quote] There is also a photo of a bloke having it in his back pocket, not really an issue IMO Edit - can't find that pic now hahaha

    Gorgeous

    Well this is now appearing in shops in the States so I hope those of you with back orders over this side of the pond will have yours soon and be able to report back

    I had one of these combos, it was the best combo I've ever used and I kinda wish I'd never sold it. £300 is bang on I think
  13. Merton
    Does this use the standard ICEPower amp module or something a bit more exotic?
  14. Merton
    I like the look of that!

    [quote name='Brother Jones' timestamp='1499511848' post='3331945'] Works for me. Are you using the new ACG website, as posted earlier? http://archive.acguitars.co.uk/portfolio/0193-finn-5/ [/quote] I should really edit the first post shouldn't I! Hopefully new pics up later this week, been a bit stupidly busy recently
  16. Merton
    Great looking bass, nice one!
  17. Merton
    I did take some - not sure where they've gone so will sort that. Meanwhile revised link to Alan's page here: http://archive.acguitars.co.uk/portfolio/0193-finn-5/

    May consider trade plus cash my way for a Barefaced One10 or Super Compact.

    Now I've settled into life with the new Skelf I'm finding that this isn't given much of a look in. TBH although there's only an inch between the two in terms of scale length the 32" just suits me better. So I've had a rethink and instead of defrettung this I will allow it to go to a good home and then commission a new 32" fretless from Alan instead. £1100 incl Hiscox lifeflight case and U.K. Mainland delivery. Which is a veritable bargain for a custom spec ACG.

    Are the 410s relatively new, they weren't part of the "original" EVO launch were they? I keep considering going back to a 410 and this seems to be a real contender if I ever manage it for the same reasons as Lozz..
  21. Merton
    That's impeccable condition for the price! Damn fine bargain
  22. Merton
    Busy but good thanks. Keep commissioning new ACGs How about you?

    Not sure on value tbh but you're welcome to come down and try my Status J any time dude

    [quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1498987994' post='3328332'] Can't really do any slapiladapilies on it. [size=4][color=inherit]But, I have my Lakland for that.[/color][/size] [color=inherit]I still think it's wider than Ibanez's string spacing though, but someone will have to correct me if I'm wrong.[/color] [/quote] Seems v small to me, my ACGs are 45mm nut with 17mm spacing at the bridge and I thought they were quite compact! I can see the appeal though, very much

    [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1498998041' post='3328429'] That's what I was suggesting. Doing the focus group work ahead of time with heir retailers (to judge the market without releasing) and then release to the public at NAMM... or maybe just use NAMM as the testing point it's supposed to be without everybody sharing every detail with the public who then want to buy something they can't get! For me, it's like putting loads of money into a movie and releasing lots of trailers and then bypassing cinema to release it on BluRay 6 months later. [/quote] Fair enough
