That... Is utterly gorgeous 😎💜

From today until Christmas I'm taking a whopping £250* off the asking price - so grab a British, handmade bargain while you can!! *£1000 is the price for a cash sale. Trade value is still £1250.

Cool 😎 Absolutely no upgrades required as the parts and construction are all top-notch 🙂

If you're interested in the bass, I'll happily discuss pricing via PM - which is polite, and certainly the way things used to be done around here! 😉 I've done my research. I am also well aware of some of the various prices that this instrument has sold for over the last few years. I alluded to this in my OP. There are many reasons why people sell things, and desperation will often drive a lower price to get a quick sale. I'm not desperate for a quick sale, so maybe my asking price is a bit on the high side, I'm not really sure. ACGs are top-quality instruments, hand-made in the UK (Scotland to be precise), and cost a lot of money when bought new. However, their resale value does suffer compared to the obvious choices (Fenders in particular). However, look at what Wals now go for. Or Musicman basses. It was not that long ago that you could get a decent Stingray or Sterling for £700-800. Fender Geddy Lee Jazz basses too. I sold my last one for around £500, now they go for nearly twice that. Supply and demand. Market forces and all that... I know this and you know this, so I'm not sure what you are trying to elicit with your slightly provocative post 🤨 If this bass doesn't attract favourable attention at the current asking price, I may well reduce the price or accept a lower offer. That's how it works. But I'm certainly not trying to profiteer or rip anyone off, I'm simply entering the market at a price that I think is fair and reflects the value of this instrument. I hope this answers the question P.S. I actually got it for £800!

Very nice 😍 Any interest in trades? My ACG for instance? 😉

Join the club! 😆 It's certainly been owned by a few BC members 😎

I suspect I will feel the same way when (or if) I become the latest in its line of ex-owners 😉

This beautiful bass has been bought and sold a few times on here, and the asking price has varied considerably. As a result I am a bit unsure of its true value... For that reason, offers will be considered It's enormously versatile due to the two single-coil pickups and 3-band John East preamp. The asymmetrical neck profile with flat(ish) radius is an absolute joy to play. For detailed specs please see the attached link to a previous ad. It is the lightest fiver I've ever played at 3.7kg, which is just over 8lbs! 😲It balances perfectly too. Although I've been lucky so far with couriers (touch wood!), I'm not keen on posting this. If a prospective buyer would like it to be shipped, I'll happily package it up safely (neck on or off) and pass on the dimensions, but I would rather leave the whole arrangement of a courier to you. I don't have a hard case, but it will be in a padded gigbag with additional packing in a stout cardboard box. Best I can do. Otherwise, I could deliver it (within reason) for fuel costs. I am often across in South West Scotland, so anywhere along (or close to) the A69/A75 corridor is easily accessible for delivery. Proximity to Stranraer makes Northern Ireland pretty doable too... Collection would be preferred though Cash sale preferred, but I could be tempted by some trades. Only basses though (4 or 5 string) - I'm fine for amps, cabs, effects, etc. Always worth an ask! Condition is good to very good, but it is not pristine. It's been loved, but it's been used, so there are a few minor marks and dents, few of which would show up in photos. More photos available on request. I have plenty of positive BC feedback - https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/74959-feedback-for-conan/page/3/

So not a 5 then... 😉

And now sold! Wow, less than an hour. After a month on Facebook.... Basschat is awesome!

On hold.... 😲

Sadly, with no gigs (or even rehearsals) on the immediate horizon, I just can't justify keeping a back-up 5 string. And I really can't bring myself to sell my ACG! Fantastic instrument, that punches well above it's modest price tag. All the MM sounds, but with the versatility of a jazz bass. 3-band Eq. Maple neck and board. Beautifully balanced, and not heavy for a fiver at 10lb (4.6kg). Immaculate condition. Not a mark on the body, but a tiny amount of corrosion on the edge of the bridge (which you've really got to look hard to see). A great player that I would happily gig with - but my need for cash is greater right now 😢 No hard case, but a nice padded Fender gigbag is included. Shipping within the UK mainland is included in the price, as is delivery anywhere in the North East of England. You can also collect it from North Tyneside 😎 No trades please. If I didn't need the cash I wouldn't be selling it!

Lovely 😎 I have a similar one in a black painted finish. When GAS comes calling I think about selling or trading, but then I play it and realise that I will not get anything of similar quality for anywhere near that price. Excellent basses 💜

One of the best basses I ever owned or even played. Wish I never had to sell mine, but I'm mostly playing five strings now and can't afford another bass. Plus, Darlington is far too far away from me.... er, hang on 🤔

One day I will own one of these... but it is not this day, sadly. Gorgeous 😍

This thread baffles me. Does he want to sell this bass or not? 🙄

Crazy low price for a great bass. If I didn't already have one, etc.... 😍

Sold locally via Facebook.

On hold pending collection and payment this afternoon...

Bought last week in error ( I was actually after a Nano Plus!). Good condition (a few scratches, nothing structural or that will affect the performance). Cheapest I have been able to find one of these for is £70, so I think £50 is fair. https://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-dept/guitar-pedals/pedalboards/pedaltrain-metro-16-pedal-board-w-hard-case Postage not included, but I am happy to arrange this at buyer's expense (and risk). Velcro already attached to the board. The power supply seen in the photos is NOT included, although as you can see, it (and similar units) fits snugly on the underside of the board.
