Updated family snapshots for you ACG lovers - obviously any bass-related communication with Mrs ead must be sanctioned by me first [attachment=144830:ACG family snapshot v2 01.JPG] [attachment=144831:ACG family snapshot v2 02.JPG] In the matter of the grunge fretless, I acquired an additional p/guard from Mr C and I'm now a bit undecided. What is the view of the BC community, parchment or tort? [attachment=144832:ACG Graft with parchment pg.JPG] [attachment=144833:ACG Graft with tort pg.JPG]

OK, sorry for the delay folks, and maybe not as diverse as the OP's stock, but here are my two ACG fretless basses for your enjoyment... [attachment=144828:ACG fretless family 02.JPG] [attachment=144829:ACG fretless family 01.JPG]

Just acquired an Audere preamp from Mike. Great comms., well packed and very promptly delivered. Many thanks.

Yeah definitely not another P or J clone.

Good choice, a nice bass by the look of it. I hope you get into it - which I'm sure you will. When Mrs ead kindly pointed out the inadequacies of my playing I was forced to remind her that both Cb and Fb are recognised notes in some cultures

Bizarrely my basses seem to weigh either 9lbs or 7lbs according to the scales in ead towers. Nothing in between.

If you have the facility to do so, record yourself playing something (simple to start with) on a fretted bass, then play along on the newly acquired fretless. Good intonation practice amongst other things.

Just picked up a Peavey C4 Zephyr for JUST over £100. Rather good value for a nicely made NT bass.

Dave very kindly bought some straplock buttons from me. Quick payment, plenty of PMs, top bloke. Deal with confidence.

I have and use both, but as basses are regularly plugged straight into an amp (or possibly a preamp with EQ controls), so isn't it just about where you do any tone shaping?

I have a weird desire to acquire this bass [b]NOT[/b] because of it's alleged provenance, just 'cause it looks like a bit of fun to do up. Any thoughts from the experts on the Antorianess and potential of it please?

Beautiful kids you have there! My ACG is due to have a little fretless brother (also ACG) very shortly. The ones with lines don't count though . Here's big bro. I'll post a family version when the next one lands... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:142928]

I upgraded my RBX270 with a 'fits a Fender' type heavy duty bridge from evilbay. Straight swap, very easy.

Looks very lovely. How much does the bass weight out of interest?

My Legend was the older version with the 3-band EQ and P/J p/ups, but everything else looks about right to me. The resident Spector expert is Cetera who may be along shortly....

They seem to sell out very quickly. I booked about 2 months before the gig and got 2 of the last 5 tickets. Mrs ead and I were obliged to enjoy the gig from entirely different sections of the auditorium.

Sold some straplocks to Mel. Super quick payment and great to deal with. Thanks very much for your custom.

Anybody catch the gig in Manchester last night. Great evening I thought.

[quote name='jabrantl' timestamp='1377180394' post='2184414'] I just heard about these things earlier today. Raging. The GAFfer pickups sound like the perfect thing to turn a Mexican Jazz Bass into a howling monster. Any idea if there's a similar alternative? A split-coil humbucker in a J enclosure, preferably British-made, and, y'know, good. [/quote] I found these guys recently. Anybody on here bought anything? http://www.at-the-creamery.co.uk/

Very nice indeed. Does this bass have the 'scalloped' bits on the neck - sorry not sure quite how to describe them and, if so, are they a bit distracting when you fret a note?
