Here we go peeps, a couple of pics of my new ACG Recurve fretless and the first ever ACG P Type.

Hi all
I'm looking for a nice P bass to play in the blues band that I'm a member of (as opposed to this P/J which is a little too 'metal' apparently). I have cash to add for the right bass.
I acquired this in a trade from Mr Bagsieblue of this parish and (hoping he's OK with it) here's the link to his post with some better pics than I managed: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/281246-traded-farida-hb20-hypersonic-series-set-neck-pj-lightweight-75lb-cw-farida-hard-case/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url]
Here are a few pics, but it's tricky to photograph being very black.
Thanks for looking.

There's a nice Japanese, Silver Squier, bass on sale on BC at the moment. Very nice, well put together basses.
Edit - Actually there's two....

This would be my call too.
Just acquired an ACG from Mark; what a top bloke. We had a good bass related chat over a cuppa too with intermittent bursts of playing and peering at the ACH website.
What about the bass I hear you ask. Well, it's an ACG so it's chuffin' gorgeous.
Just for the record three cats were in evidence.
Hi Karl
I have a Wenge board on one of my ACGs. Per instructions from ACG towers I used some of that ultra fine wire wool to get the gunk off and then just a little lemon oil just to moisten the cloth to clean off the dust. Worked a treat.
Just to note the dust is apparently not at all good for you so no inhaling please.

This used to be my bass and after I sold it I pretty much instantly regretted it and went out and bought another after a month or two. I had even asked paddy109 to give me first refusal if he ever sold it, but when this came up for sale I was already fully tooled up with SSS Js otherwise it would not have made it onto here.
The neck is great and the satin finish really works well. I had the bass fully set up and serviced by Richie Thompson in Wigan (ask Karlfer if in doubt). He gave the fretboard and good clean and oil and it is now magnificent as well as general TLC.
Do not hesitate folks this is a great bass and paddy109 is a solid citizen.
I've just swapped out the standard fit Sandberg single coils in my Cali 2 TT for EMG JVX (with some trepidation initially) and am now a total convert. Plenty of everything imho. The bass whisperer does a good review too.
[b]Bartolini Original Series P/J pickup set[/b]
For sale is this set of Bartolini P/J pickups that I bought on here for a project that never happened. They have some light scuffing on the casings roughly where the string pass over them but are fully serviceable.
The split coil Precision type pickup is an 8S. The single coil Jazz type bridge pickup is a 9J-L1, this is the noiseless humbucking version. Here is the link to the Bartolini website with specs etc.: [url="https://www.bartolini.net/product/p-j-bass-original-series/"]https://www.bartolin...riginal-series/[/url]
The P pickup 17cm of cable to work with whilst the J pickup has 18.5cm of cable to use, so plenty for pretty much any bass I can think of. [b]NOW SOLD THANKS[/b].
For sale are some very lightly used black D'Addario tapewound strings. They were originally a 4-string set and then I bought a B string which I promptly never used and which remains unopened in its packet.
All the strings measure 37" from ball end to the start of the silk at the neck end. Overall string lengths and gauges as follows:
B 135 brand new unopened
E 105 43"
A 85 44"
D 65 45"
G 50 43"
A 5-string set is around £55 new so these are a [b]bargain at £35 posted to the mainland UK.[/b]
Thanks for looking and happy to answer any questions.
I believe Sandberg TTs have 22 frets (my Cali II does but can't vouch for the whole range). I think the Electra is very good value and well built if you can find one.
