Scoop Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I've been getting it in the ear from Eude, particularly, for a family portait of my ACGs. Well Mrs Scoop went out with the kids so I released them all from their hidey-holes and quickly ran off a few snaps before she got home again. Here you go... [IMG]http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/6016/018mw.jpg[/IMG] The Fivers L to R: Skelf SC; Moth; Recurve Classic; Graft Harlot. [IMG]http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/4387/011due.jpg[/IMG] The fours: Tefano; Finn; Recurve; Graft Finn; Recurve fretless and new J Type in foreground. And now some random shots from slightly different elevations. I am, though I'm sure I need not point this out to those with eyes, the world's crappest photographer.

Spoombung Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 How do you find the Moth bass? I laughed my head off when I saw it (in approval) but didn't get the chance to have a good play on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) It's great, Kev. I'm not much of a fretless player (and I already own two - an ACG Recurve and a Schecter) so I asked Alan to fret the Moth for me, change the nut and cut it to accommodate an E to C tuning. All the fivers I've owned in the past have been low Bs so the Moth is very different in lots of ways for me. It's remarkably comfortable to play, either sitting or standing and Alan's understanding of ergonomics is absolutely spot on. There isn't a single square inch of wood on that bass that doesn't serve *some* well defined purpose and given the performance parameters that Alan set himself I don't see how the Moth could have ended up looking any differently whatsoever. Soundwise it can also hack it as the overwound singlecoil and the piezo give it two very extreme tonal ends with a lovely blended middle. I'm very happy with it; can't wait to gig it in fact, but before I do I'm going to need to spend some more time figuring out what to do with a high C. It's a complete novelty to me after 37 years of playing and damn it confuses the bejeebus out of me sometimes. I'll get there...

GarethFlatlands Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 The bass nerd in me wants to play them all and the skinflint in me shudders to think how much that collection set you back! If I had the cash to buy any bass, a single cut ACG fretless is top of the list. Of course that could change tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
