andydye Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Today isn't strictly a new bass dayy as it's due for collection today but I just got some pics of the finished bass and am quite excited! Just look at that Black Limba top and all that delicious ebony fingerboard [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/sets/72157635083156126/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/sets/72157635083156126/[/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/9516683856/][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/9516683856/]10[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/andy_dye/]andydye[/url], on Flickr [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/9513895969/][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/9513895969/]11[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/andy_dye/]andydye[/url], on Flickr [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/9516683416/][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/9516683416/]14[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/andy_dye/]andydye[/url], on Flickr It's a P/J and has a 3 band east pre...just blissful!!

hubrad Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 *Like* :-) Fretless 5 gets my vote anyway; never played an ACG but that does look rather quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fancied a simpler pre on the fretless still with some control over mids but not in such an intense global way as with the custom ACG pre and I've heard really good and transparent things about the East stuff so wanted to give one a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ead Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Looks great that. It's Friday surely you can claim time off on religious grounds. Or better still still a medical emergency......GAS.
