    ACG build

    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
  2. I had an early '90s SR1500; a lovely bass.
  3. Yeah, going to the Manchester gig.
  4. Just acquired a bass from Graham. Great to deal with and made all the arrangements quickly and efficiently. Lovely bass too.
  5. I'll have a reboot and try again tomorrow.
  6. When I tried it it just stays as the stand P bass split coil.
  7. That's quite pleasant I must admit.
  8. 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).
  9. Tried on a few different browsers but no joy.
  10. I'll try again in a different browser, maybe just user incompetence (cannot be ruled out).
  11. Just had a look at the site again and noticed the Jake TB, looks very interesting. Does anyone have one? I can't seem to get the configurator to work for this model type, which to be fair is probably a blessing in disguise as I'd be pretty tempted to order one.
  12. I really like the black sparkle finish on mine. Currently toying with the idea of a B/W/B pickguard for added stealth.
  13. There is definitely joy to be found in uncovering a gem of a bass that cost not a lot. There are a few other threads on this subject
  14. Thank you, you are very kind or possibly/probably confusing me with someone else
  15. In the cold light of day I expect that I am not 'good enough' to play a few of my basses however I enjoy trying to do them justice.
  16. Welcome to my world
  17. It did take 2-3 years of perseverance.
  18. As a serial J bass user in a 3-piece band I can't say that I have noticed the problem. I have also trained our guitarist to not boost his low frequencies to leave me space. I can pretty much use any bass I like this way.
  19. Ooops, just seen Binky Bass's post.
  20. These are very good value for the money. I had one for a while whilst doing the whole 5-string thing. https://bassbros.co.uk/product/2016-cort-a5-plus-fmmh-opn-artisan-series/
  21. Piano would be choice. Still tinkering with the idea of getting lessons.
  22. Hi folks For sale is this excellent Ashdown Tone Pocket with all the bits some of which haven't even been opened. I'll include a 1/4" jack to mini jack converter too. The contents include tote bag, UK power supply, mini-jack to mini-jack and USB to mini-SUB connectors, plus stick-on belt clip. I appear to have accumulated a few similar devices and as this is the newest and virtually unused item it's up for someone else to enjoy. It has never been out of the house and is thus in excellent condition. I used it just a couple of times to record bass parts onto my laptop. Here's the link to the manufacturer info: https://ashdownmusic.com/products/tone-pocket-v2-0 Mine is the v1 version but I can't see a whole lot that is different. Plenty of YouTube reviews too. £80 posted using 1st Class Recorded Delivery to the UK mainland. If you are a bit further afield in one of the trickier postcodes I will need to add a small supplement I suspect. Thanks for looking and here are some pics. If you'd like to see anything in more detail or indeed have any questions please just ask.
  23. Update on lead-times. Apparently a batch of the Cali II Central basses is being produced and will hopefully include mine so looking more like 8-9 months now.
  24. I've only owned one US Stingray, well a Sterling to be precise, and a few Sandbergs. I think the Sandberg necks are right up there in terms of playability with anything out there.
