LukeFRC Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 So you have an amazing bass Alan built for you. Awesome. With a brilliant preamp in it. And I am sat here wondering about your bass, and the preamp in it. And there is nothing on the net I can find with examples of ACG's. and I really really want to. So if you have an ACG, and some way of recording them, fancy doing a wee video to show it off, go on, you just spent all that money on an awesome bass, show it off.... esp highlighting the preamp and how you use that. That would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm sure there are some samples on yt.... I know for sure there are some live performances. I'd find you the links only I'm on my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cairobill Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I did a demo of my old acg specifically demo'ing the power of the eq01. I think I still have it, I'll stick it up on youtube tonight... Cheers Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ou7shined Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Yeah that was a great demo. Thanks for sharing. Actually Luke you aren't too far away from chez Cringean. Why don't you give him a bell and see if he can spare some time to give you a guided tour and explain the filter in more depth. He's a top bloke and is usually always up for a natter of the bass variety. If you don't end up ordering something on the spot, the very least you'll come away with are few more tidbits on real basses than you did when you arrived... I always do.

OmeDunk Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Excellent video! Sums up pretty much all the possibilities of the preamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm intreaged by this preamp, and I'm thinking it sounds perfect for me, at some point. I've been playing with my Warwick, and finally got it sounding awesome, the barts really really go well with it. For now i switched in a secondhand glockenklang, which is okay and does the job, but doesn't amaze me. I would love at some point to stick an ACG filter pre in it, but I don't have the money at the moment, and will wait till I do until going pestering busy men. So why start this thread? Well partly as I am really really interested as how filter preamps would work in practice with bass, to the point I was looking to build my own version in an effects box to try it out, but the more I researched the more I thought that the ACG circuit is pretty special. I also couldn't see a way that a few videos of it floating around could hurt Alan's sales..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairobill Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 The ACG EQ is really limitless in its application. Super dub to glassy to tight mids etc etc It's very flexible. I only sold the bass as I'm piling my funds into a very special 33inch scale fiver. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skelf Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Wait until you see the next version which I got from John today. He has upped the bar again and as far as I am concerned he had all ready set it pretty high. This is the pre-production version so I need to get it into a bass for real world testing which I hope to be able to do next week. The bass it is going in a 6 string Recurve S Type is still drying from spraying. I hope to have the bass and the new pre-amp down at the London show next weekend.

skelf Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) There has been nothing taken away from the 01 but a significant number of features added in the 03. Don't get me wrong the 01 is an excellent pre-amp and will continue to be just that. However the only reason I am now selling the 01 is because I have a new flagship pre-amp for my own basses which will be exclusively available in them for now on. Well once the testing has been done and the custom pots arrive. Alan Edited February 24, 2012 by skelf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
