The interweb suggests that they are 6mm diameter top and 8mm diameter bottom for the stacks. What sort of thing are you after colour/quantity wise as I might have some stuff lying around.

Is it much worse than the cult of Rickenbacker; I can't say I've really noticed. To be prefectly honest I've never even picked up an MM so have absolutely nothing controversial to add - probably a hate crime in itself .

I'm sure I've seen this bass in the F/S section: [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0166-custom-j-type-5/"]http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0166-custom-j-type-5/[/url] Technically satin finish so may not qualify.

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1416953799' post='2615544'] On a serious note it was a really nice bass that i only sold because i had just bought another Fretless bass and couldn't justify to myself having three Fretless basses. [/quote] Is having three fretless basses always bad?

Personally I'm a convert, they seem to work particularly well with the asymmetric neck carve on ACGs. I have no idea why, but they do fell natural almost immediately. Don't know where you are in the world but I have some ACGs you are welcome to try if you like.

My former Tanglewater also Elite had a bolt on neck; same vintage. A bit hard to see but it had a nice low action without modification. [attachment=177027:OW Elite 4 22 comp.jpg] [attachment=177028:OW Elite 4 28 comp..jpg]

I should warn you that there may a risk that he will play 'That Song' from The Bodyguard in extended 30 minute format.

I've always preferred the John East preamps, or if you have an interest in something a bit different the filter preamps are very cool. These are a good introduction to the breed: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/249328-acg-eq02-pre-amp-recently-serviced-healthchecked-by-john-east/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/249328-acg-eq02-pre-amp-recently-serviced-healthchecked-by-john-east/[/url]

So it genuinely is all in the fingers then

[quote name='skelf' timestamp='1416521503' post='2611219'] I would settle for getting into the price bracket of the others named in the above. Not sure I would be able to charge 10K for a bass even if I could. To my mind there is a limit to what you can do with a bass guitar, a limit to the materials and hardware you can use a limit to how much time you can spend on a bass and a limit to how much I could ask for a bass beyond which I would feel uncomfortable. I have not reached where I want to get to but I have a ballpark in mind for my top of the range it is a lot shy of £10K. [/quote] Better get my next commission in early then Alan [size=4] [/size]

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1416391206' post='2609604'] I understand... [/quote]

I'm on TB but as above more for research. If you want a laugh, go on the RIC forum and mention Hipshot replacement bridges..... ......then run and hide.
