    This for me too. I seem to be settling down to being more comfortable with what I would loosely call the mid-range price bracket basses. For me this is between £400 and £1,000 in rough terms, and these are the ones I most often reach for. I have a couple of pricier ones too but these days they don't get gigged and I use them at home for my own enjoyment.

    Now sold, thanks for all the interest.

    ACG Finn Classic 4 Medium 32” Scale For sale is this rather lovely (IMHO, YMMV etc.) medium scale ACG. It started life as straight passive P bass but when ACG launched the new Hybrid Humbuckers I fitted one of those with a 4-way coil switch, so now you have the following options on top of the volume and tone knobs: Bridge coil; both parallel; both series (particularly awesome); neck coil. The bass weighs in at 3.4kgs (or 7lbs 6oz in old money) so very easy to use for long gigs. It’s in great condition and will come with a good quality gig bag. Looking for £895 please. Please see the pics below. Note that most were ‘pre mods’ but I’ve added one showing the extra knob. Please let me know if you’d like to see any other details. I would be happy to deliver within a reasonable radius of home alternatively happy to meet somewhere approximately half way if you prefer for a contribution to fuel costs. A courier remains the last resort. I work from home most days so can accommodate most collection options. I would leave it to you to organise your preferred courier. Spec Strings/Scale: 4 32” Body core: Alder Top/veneer: Figured Maple Neck woods: 3 piece Ash F/B wood: AI Maple Radius: Flat Side dots: Black Bridge: Hipshot Type B black Tuning machines: Hipshot Ultralites plus De-tuner on E String Pickups: ACG BZ1 Hybrid Humbucker Electronics: Passive plus – Vol/Tone/4-position coil switch

    Following with interest. I was looking at acquiring an Epi EB3 and giving it the full Novak pickups/Gibson style electronics/bridge upgrades. When I added it all up it was a fair old amount of dosh so ended up looking out for a preloved Gibson SG and if it was one without the Babicz bridge (Gibson added these as std in 2015 for a short time) changing that when I found a preloved one. Bass sorted recently bridge on its way to me. This may be on interest to folks thinking about doing some or all of this. https://www.guitar-mod.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Session_ID=65bac5aa40e44a979170c093070ec132&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=RG_EB3

    I've found them to be very good. Some of my basses were sold through Bass Bros and a few more are f/s. More will follow for sure.

    That is stunning. I am a big ACG fan and have 'some' of Alan's basses. Apologies for the thread derail.

    Have pics been published yet, if not please do a few for us?

    There's some stuff on the Spector website about this period:

    Yes, apologies, I left the 9 out. Will amend forthwith.

    The NS-94s were made in Korea to pretty much USA specs as far as I can determine. This was at a time when Stuart Spector had temporarily lost control of his brand name.

    I have a TT4 passive with the Black Label pickups and I'm a big fan of that combo. Does things a J bass does very well and mine is 8lbs (3.6kgs) so very comfortable. I have V/B/T rather V/V/T as I prefer 1 volume for gigging. The pickups are quite hot but I've lowered them down a bit and the sound is sweet now.
  14. ead
    Nice. I'm a big fan of its predecessor the NS-94. I've owned a couple over the years.

    Can't believe that you're doing this Ander BTW fellow BCers, Ander is a top dude to deal with. In fact I now own the missing third Limelight.

    Goodness that colour is quite 'sudden'

    New fretless 34" scale 5er in progress to go with the fretless neck that came along with an ACG J Type. Don't mention it to @eude or there'll be trouble. Krell but with a couple of minor differences e.g. rounded edges and old style forearm contour. Body: 1-pc Amapola Top: Spalted Alder with black veneer Neck: 3-pc Maple with Ebony board & partial fret lines

    I had an early '90s SR1500; a lovely bass.
  20. ead
    Yeah, going to the Manchester gig.

    Just acquired a bass from Graham. Great to deal with and made all the arrangements quickly and efficiently. Lovely bass too.
  22. ead
    I'll have a reboot and try again tomorrow.
  23. ead
    When I tried it it just stays as the stand P bass split coil.
  24. ead
    That's quite pleasant I must admit.

    Seems to work for a basic Jake C, when I click on any of the other 3 options it still behaves like the Jake C. Quite odd really. Everything else about the browers seems fine on other websites e.g. Sandberg configurator (another very dangerous web page).
