Yes I am! Also, for anyone else that's interested, it looks like Fret Nation should be releasing some demo videos soon!

That does help! You can really hear the difference between the ACGs, the Wal, and the Alembic. Very interesting. Thanks a lot!

That's a beauty! Sorry to hear about the arthritis.

I will absolutely be asking nicely.

Awesome! I think that might be the move. Thanks for the tip. Those clips sound great. Alan really seems to have some devoted fans. I haven't really seen a single negative review apart from some people saying the filter preamps were a bit complicated, but that's exactly what I'm looking for. It seems like the DFM has some detents on the lower knobs, too, so that should make it relatively easy to keep track of a few sweet spots.

Thanks for the great info! I'm just getting started, so I haven't made too many decisions yet. I'm sort of leaning towards either a RetroB or a Finn 5 string (or 6 😬) with the MC/DFM5k arrangement. I love his more adventurous shapes, but I play in a country band mainly, and I need to consider the stage presence of the instrument as well. I'm tempted to go 33" scale, but I'm nervous that the B string would suffer, so I'll probably go 34-35". So many options!

That's what I've heard! They look incredible, and I'm just trying to decide what configuration I want. Clearly the MC pickups are Wal-inspired, and I see a lot of people going for the Wal tone with them, but I've heard some people say the ACG filters are a bit more Alembic-y. Do you, or anyone, have any insight on that subject? I occasionally play in a Grateful Dead outfit, so being able to lean towards the Alembic tone would be pretty useful. Your clips sound great, by the way.

Yes I did see that video, and it's a great start, but I crave more!

This is my first time posting to Basschat, so I hope this is in the right place. I've been going down a rabbit hole with ACG and I've seen nothing but glowing reviews of both Alan and his builds. However, there are not many demos/sound samples available, specifically for the MC/DFM combo. I've scoured YouTube, and there are some nice videos of ACG owners playing their instruments, but I'd love to see someone show the flexibility and characteristics of all of the ACG pickups/preamps, especially the MC/DFM setup. Is there a hidden repository that I've just not stumbled upon yet? Or would it be possible to convince some ACG owners to upload some demos? Thanks all!
