You need four 😎😉

Totally agree! It's a real shame that this beauty is mostly unplayed at the moment. It deserves a much better owner (and player) than me 💜

Ben, or the bass? 🤔😆

Even though I'm trying to sell an ACG, I'm sorely tempted by this one! 😎💜

Why not just give it away? 🥺💜 Anyone who plays this bass will instantly understand how vastly underpriced it is 😱

Same here. Incredible what they're going for these days... 😎

That headstock arrangement is really odd! 🤔

The simple answer to this question is "yes" 😆🙄 It would seem that I have muddied the waters in trying to clear them... 🤔😉

After a bit more research, it would seem that this bridge is slightly adjustable. This version is set at 18+/-1.5mm. However, the same model is available with 19mm (or even 21mm!) spacing. I guess it would be a straight swap. If you picked one up second hand and sold the existing bridge, it would only cost a few quid... https://hipshotproducts.com/products/5-string-a-style-bass-bridge?variant=31567451400 You're welcome 😎😆

Not sure. Not because of the bridge, but because it would bring the B and G strings very close to the edge of the fingerboard (I think).

It's set at 18mm, but the bridge is adjustable so could allow it to go slightly wider. I wouldn't though, because it feels perfect for me as it is, and I prefer a wide spacing. It feels very like my four string Fenders, and I have sausage fingers! 😆

The first one was mine, wasn't it? 😆

Heartbreaking how underappreciated these beauties are 😱🤨🙄😭

There are those who know... 😉😎

Were you the original owner Peter? My research indicates that the bass is ACG #103 and was completed (and first purchased) in 2012, but I can't find out who was the first owner...

Yep - ACG branded single coils 😎

Great price for a great bass! 😎

Bump

I am wondering the same thing! As far as bang-for-buck goes, this has to be one of the best deals on BC at the moment. But the marketplace is rammed with Fenders and Fender-alikes. People want what they see, and what they see is Fenders with maybe the odd Rickenbacker, Musicman or Gibson depending on the music genre. They see what they like and they like what they see, so it all becomes a bit cyclical. As far as build and sound quality go, ACG instruments are right up there with the likes of Status, Wal, Sadowsky, Lakland, Alembic, Roscoe, Spector and their ilk (and I've played most of them) - but because few bassists have seen, heard or tried them, they are regarded as a bit "out there" and so not worth the financial risk. Possibly a bit like Shuker basses, there is a bit of a mentality that "they are British, how good can they be?". And yet, apply that logic to Wal or Status and, er... 🤔 I dunno. What I do know is that it's a lovely bass and I will be happy to keep it and continue using it. It just doesn't quite fit what I am currently doing, or plan to do in the near future. If I was in a wedding/function band, and had to cover a wide variety of sound and playing styles, this bass would be perfect. But I'm not, so it isn't. I don't have a huge (or even modest) budget for music equipment, so can't afford to keep this beauty purely for home use. Even though my daughter loves it and wants it to be hers.... 😆 😉
