ead

I think some on the forum know I have an ACG or two so with that in mind, and having removed my tinted glasses, I would challenge the comment above about pricing of ACG basses. I do look around to see what other builders are offering and still find Alan's basses to be very competitively priced, with the acknowledgement that it's almost impossible to compare apples with apples in the space. I must drive Alan nuts as I very firmly in the traditional shapes fold and am a particular fan of the J Type and RetroB. I did dip a toe in slightly choppier waters recently and bought a Border Reiver S/S but have now scuttled back into the relative safety of a new Finn that I suspect will become my favourite fretted ACG in short order 🙂 As always YMMV

Oooh I'm not sure, possibly but I'm rubbish at socail media so AC just sends me pics by MS Messenger. Don't want to derail the OPs thread too much so I'll PM you a pic or two

It is but a double cut

I'm very much enjoying 32" BR to the point I may have comissioned another 32" P type bass that is close to being ready. Obvioulsy tour rules apply so telling Mrs ead please

It is indeed, I had a little go on the prototype last time I was up in Moffat. I did completely wimp out though and ended up with the 32" scale Border Reiver that Alan was selling.

Loving those micro Krells. I hope you enjoy the bass.

Not sure, tbh I thought the opposite

What is interesting is the low depreciation of Limelight basses.

Cheers ped.

Mine was about that, maybe slightly less.

@ped Over the years I've accumulated a few feedback threads (you'd think ead would be easy enough to type). Is it possible to get these combined into one thread to rule them all?

I swapped the Delano's in my Sandberg TT for a set of Bartolini B-Axis pickups. Not single coils but nice warm sounding pickups with that bit of growl too.

Jack has made me a few exellent p/gs.

They're only worth what somebody will pay for them. Personally I'm highly delighted with mine but as ever YMMV.

String choice aside, I can't hear a great deal of difference between Rosewood and Maple fretboards in a band context.

I've been reading this thread with interest as I am in the same place more or less as the OP. Without boring everybody with my deliberations I clicked Buy on a Basswitch Sonic Spark too so fingers crossed.

I've left the bridge cover on my '66.

You could put a post on here (and maybe the Ric forum?), explain there's a lead time and see? Worth doing a design registration if you're serious about it though. Any idea what it's likely to cost? I sold my Ric 'cause I couldn't get on with exactly this issue and in those day additive manufacturing hadn't been invented. Actually not strictly true it was was called rapid prototyping then and still very costly for hobbyists.

Great job there. Methinks you should stick a post on the f/sale board for these...

I recently swapped out the Delano pickups in my Sandberg Cali II TT with some Bartolini B-Axis items. Picked them uo pre-loved from Bass Direct for not much at all and they are an interesting alternative to singlr coils. I know it's hardly a bitsa but just wanted to mention the pickups.

I would certainly recommend Limelight. They made me a great copy of Geddy's famous J bass down to the minor blemishes. I would recommend looking for 'real' old basses and ask them to copy it. Andy Baxter basses is a good resource for pics and ideas.

Deffo ACG. You might well have a bit of change too.

We're just working up Eleanore (The Turtles) and a rock version of Be My Baby. Not sure if Id'd class either as 'forgotten' though.
